Other members of the Symbian community are even now engaged to ship devices equipped with S^3 during the third quarter of 2010.
The S^3 platform features include HDMI support which allows users to connect their phones to a television in order to watch HD movies of 1080pixel even without a Blu-ray player. The Music store integration trait allows user to learn and identify details about a song. Its extra competent management of memory accounts for a Writeable Data Paging which makes for parallel implementation of applications and effective multitasking. Its architecture also include better support for 2D and 3D graphics that is advantageous in a more enjoyable gaming experience. This layout comes with industry-standard OpenGL ES, the latest gaming platform that does not reduce usability of a phone even during a game session.
The platform is also equipped and ready for 4G networks and addresses concerns like bandwidth, latency and jitter. Its one-click connectivity simplifies the process by which the phone connects to the internet. It may automatically switch from a cellular network into WLAN when such network is available. Multi-touch functions like “pinch-to-zoom” may be enhanced through a developer community. The Homescreen also has a support for multiple pages with widgets that can simply be moved by simple flick gestures.
