Nokia Announces Touch User Interface

Wed 2007-10-17 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

As the Apple iPhone has demonstrated, a touch-based interface is a Love It or Hate It feature, but it is the way of the future. Case in point, Nokia has just announced their own touch user interface.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“The touch user interface in S60 smartphone software offers licensees the opportunity to develop devices with a variety of input methods, whether it is a touch screen with a traditional keypad, touch screen with a qwerty keyboard or touch screen alone, supporting both finger or stylus optimized input, in addition to the range of access options that already exist today.

S60 touch user interface comes with support for tactile feedback, which means that there is a physical pulse and feedback when the user taps on the screen. This provides better awareness of the device's response improving the user experience.”
