Vodafone’s S60 launches

Nokia and Vodafone have deepened their partnership with the release of the first Vodafone-specific software package to all S60 licensees.

The software is intended to enable Vodafone to roll out new services across a variety of different handsets without having to develop a range of different software designs.

Samsung and Nokia are expected to be the first vendors to ship devices incorporating the software this year. According to research from Canalys, S60 is the clear leader in converged device software with 54 per cent market share globally in the fourth quarter of 2006.
