pkrass from the Nokia Forum Blogs writes about new resources coming with the Symbian^3 and how they could make it easier for the developers.

"To help developers making the move to the Symbian^3 operating system, Forum Nokia offers several new and useful resources:

Among other new features, Symbian^3 introduces a finger-optimised UI with enhanced layout and new single-tap interaction style. This UI is described in the Forum Nokia Design and User Experience Library’s article, ‘UI in Symbian^3.

Symbian^3’s new UI style requires minor changes for native applications. To learn how to port your existing Symbian C++ applications to Symbian^3, visit the Nokia Symbian^3 Developer’s Library."

Symbian^3 introduces capacitive screens in touch devices. Starting from Symbian ^3, finger is the main input method instead of stylus. Capacitive touch technology is based on conducting electricity, and threrfore a bare finger is needed to operate with a capacitive touch screen.

here are the main points covered with Symbian^3 UI:

• - Finger usability
• - Single tap interaction
