Nokia Announced Touch UI for S60s

On Oct 16 Nokia announced the addition of touchscreen interface to their S60s OS. Even though it does resembles Apple iPhone's multi touch input system, Nokia is holding its own with a few promised extras. These include:

• Silencing the phone by flipping it on its face when an incoming call is received.
• Suppor for stylus-based input
• Tactile feedback response
  

Moreover, two new features - ScreenPlay and FreeWay - are coming to add even more sophistication to the platform:

• ScreenPlay is their new graphics engine that allows transparency and animations without taking up too much more battery life.
• FreeWay is less visible, but it's a new IP networking stack/ architecture on 3G networks/ WiMax to allow faster audio/ video streaming and VoIP calling
