The release will feature a wide range of enhancements including more advanced usability, faster networking and graphics acceleration in 2D and 3D for games and apps. The first devices running the new platform are expected to ship as early as Q3 this year. May be the new devices from Nokia they have not shown, yet?
In the new OS there will be more efficient memory management that will allow more apps to run in parallel. And what is even far better : Symbian^3 includes support for HDMI, so you can now plug your device into a TV and watch a 1080p movie. The new graphics architecture will use hardware acceleration to offer users a much improved user interface.
The new homescreen supports multiple pages for widgets, enabling the user to just flick between each one. Across the board there are also a range of network improvements, including the ability to automatically switch from cell network to WLAN automatically, without user interruption. The platform is completely ready for 4G networks.
