Web Browser for S60
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In November 2005 Nokia launched the Web Browser for S60, based on the WebCore and JavaScriptCore components of Apple Computer’s Safari WebKit, an open source software full Web rendering engine that Apple uses in its Safari Web browser. Based on KHTML and KJS from KDE's Konqueror open source project, this software enables full Web site usability on smartphones, through the re-use of a desktop rendering engine that has been developed and optimized by a large free software community over many years.
In addition to Mac OS X and S60, the browser may be ported to other platforms including GTK+ on Linux.
