Nokia, Apple Partner on New Mobile Browser
Nokia, Apple Partner on New Mobile Browser:
Nokia said it is developing a mobile browser for its Series 60 smartphone software in conjunction with Apple.
The statement listed the following:
- "The Series 60 browser will use the same open source components, WebCore and JavaScriptCore, that Apple uses in its popular Safari Internet browser,"
- "Nokia intends to continue its collaboration with Apple and actively participate in the open source community to further develop and enhance these components, contributing Nokia's expertise in mobility."
Nokia's Chief Technology officer Pertti Korhonen stated, "Open source development also enables close cooperation with the industry's best innovators, such as Apple,"
