Symbian Programming SIG on Web Runtime

What: The initial release from the Symbian Foundation will be based on Symbian/S60 5th edition and is called Symbian^1. One interesting implication for open sourcing Symbian/S60 is the Web Runtime(WRT) is part of the mix. This allows programmers to use standard web technologies like javascript, html and css to deliver applications to the phone. Unlike native applications, no signing is required. In addition to extending JavaScript for the phone UI, the WRT allows to access the phone via the Platform Services API. This talk is an introduction to it.
