Symbian s60 will be scrapped soon!

The Symbian Foundation Blog, in a latest blog post has announced the release of the first PDK (Product Development Kit) for the upcoming Symbian ^2 platform.

Directed at developers, the PDK packs in several tools for them to bring out the first Symbian ^2 based device in the market. The kit includes a full version of the Symbian S60 OS, NTT DoCoMo's MOAP and Ericsson's UIQ.

In another news, the same blog post also talks about the S60 brand being dissolved. That's Correct. S60 as we used to know has ceased to exist. The S60 website too has been disbanded recently and all the content from there has been moved here. Symbian ^2 will be a major OS release since it's development begins and will be available for "consumption" by late 2009 or early 2010. The blog post also says about a six monthly cycle that will ensure a new version of the software every six months.
