Shameless plug: Nokia develops a new browser using open source software

Nokia develops a new browser for Series 60 by using open source software

Nokia announced today that it is using best-of-breed open source software as the basis of a new mobile browser for its world leading smartphone software, the Series 60 Platform.

A key component of this development has been Nokia’s cooperation with Apple, as the Series 60 browser will use the same open source components, WebCore and JavaScriptCore, that Apple uses in its popular Safari Internet browser.

OK, I may be biased, but seeing the title I was expecting to see Mini Mozilla (minimo) announced. Oh well, WebCore probably isn’t that bad either. Maybe this will improve the situation of the Gtk+ WebCore port as well.
