As announced earlier this year, the new Web browser for S60 is based on the WebCore and JavaScriptCore components of Apple’s Safari Web Kit, which it says is the industry’s "smallest and fastest" open-source full Web rendering engine for mobile devices and is the same engine that Apple uses in the Safari internet browser.
"Safari Web Kit's blazing performance, efficient code base and support for open standards make it an ideal open source technology for projects like the new Web browser for S60," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "We're delighted that Nokia can take advantage of Apple innovation and our commitment to open source development to bring a new Web experience to S60 smartphones."
