Samsung licenses Nokia software

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd has licensed Nokia's Series 60 platform for their next-generation smart phones. Series 60 is a software platform that Nokia licenses as a source code product to other mobile handset manufacturers.

The licensees will be able to integrate the software platform into their own application-driven phone designs, speeding up the rollout of their new phone models. The Series 60 platform supports open and common technologies, such as MMS, Java, and WAP/XHTML, which consists of key telephony and personal information management applications, browser and messaging clients, and a complete and modifiable user interface.
