S60 platform has chosen TAT, officially?

I've already informed you in some previous blogposts that fancy TAT's UI is coming to S60 phones and it looks like the rumour is confirmed to be true!!!

TAT’s technology enables S60 developers to push UI boundaries to even greater heights.

Developers can now easily add advanced graphics such as 3D, change effects and also add skins without having to change existing software or add expensive hardware.

TAT Kastor, the next generation UI rendering platform, is now available on the S60 mobile platform. The benefits from TAT Kastor address the need to render advanced graphics on any type of color screens.

This allows handset vendors to offer devices with sophisticated and graphically animated user interfaces, without major changes to the software or need for advanced hardware.

By pushing graphics to advanced screens more efficiently than traditional software, TAT Kastor on the S60 mobile platform makes the user interface look more advanced than the hardware normally would allow. And importantly, it does so without extensive changes to existing software.

Mobile phone user interface is where communication between the user and the handset takes place, where the relationship is created and Kastor opens up a broad spectrum of possibilities for customization and creating the more eye friendly user interface.
