Many people are aware that Apple maps included in the latest iOS from apple packs in some issues, the poor location services, broken maps, abysmal services to name a few. This gave other software makers a chance, and since then, there have been major updates in existing navigation and GPS programs to support iOS6 and fill the void. The applications did manage to provide some solid ground, but that solid feel and finish you expect from an app still lacks from those third party apps, and since the official launch of Google maps on iOS is a good month away, what do we do? Strangely, Nokia is the answer.
2 years ago, Microsoft and Nokia announced that the Symbian OS will get Silverlight support. 2 days ago, Microsoft made the Silverlight for Symbian beta with developer tools live but was made unavailable later. It is expected that now the beta will get released in the Mix Web Conference.
Nokia’s market is badly shaken by the Mobile OSes like iPhone OS and Android over the last 2 years. They have proven a better usability and Nokia needs to improve a lot to catch up the market. Nokia has realized that they need to improve their UX and they are working on a new series of OS called “Symbian S^4” The first videos of this OS have emerged on internet. Still there is no innovation in UX like Windows Phone 7 has but it seems to have very good improvements. This OS was originally glimpsed at MWC and now the videos have emerged on internet.
