S60 platform overview
The S60 platform brings consumers the best smartphone experience. Implemented in a diverse range of devices, the S60 platform provides application and media developers with a consistent set of technologies. Equally at home delivering advanced enterprise applications, games, or music, the S60 platform provides developers with unparalleled opportunities in the mobile space.
Application developers can work in C++ (using native Symbian OS APIs), the Java™ language (using Mobile Information Device Profile [MIDP] 2.0 with an extensive range of additional Java™ Specification Requests [JSRs]), Python, Visual Basic, or C#, as well as with Macromedia Flash from Adobe.
Once applications and content have been created, support for Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Digital Rights Management (DRM) protects developers‘ intellectual property.
Nokia alone cumulatively shipped more than 50 million S60 devices by the end of February 2006. The smartphone market is expected to continue its fast growth, reaching close to 100 million units during 2006. According to Nokia estimates, the bulk of this volume will be based on S60 3rd Edition.
The S60 platform enables developers to create higher-value applications and content with increasing revenue opportunities. The platform approach — with uniform implementation of technologies and supporting tools, documentation, and examples — requires less effort by developers to grasp these market opportunities.

C++ application developers
The S60 platform provides developers with access to C++ APIs from Symbian OS and the S60 UI and application engines.
S60 2nd Edition employs Symbian OS v7.0s and, in later feature packs, Symbian OS v8.0a and Symbian OS v8.1a. More than 30 sets of additional APIs are made available in S60 2nd Edition, supporting features such as Digital Rights Management (DRM), publish and subscribe, image manipulation, and scalable icons.
S60 3rd Edition provides industry-leading security underpinned by Symbian Signed and a new, more efficient binary format. C++ developers have access to new location, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), DRM, and Instant Messaging APIs in this edition. S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1, adds APIs for optical character recognition (OCR), OpenGL V1.1, and improved interaction with platform features such as the gallery and profiles.

Java™ application developers
Java™ technology provides developers with a robust cross-platform alternative to C++.
S60 2nd Edition adds Java™ ME/MIDP 2.0 with enhanced performance from the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) HotSpot compiler. In addition, a number of new Java™ Specification Requests (JSRs) are implemented, including Mobile 3D Graphics API (JSR-184), Java™ APIs for Bluetooth (JSR-82), and FileConnection API (JSR-75).
With the introduction of S60 3rd Edition, Java developers gain access to CLDC 1.1 and a more extensive range of APIs with the addition of Security and Trust Services API (JSR-177), Java Location API (JSR-179), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) API (JSR-180), Wireless Messaging API (WMA) 2.0 (JSR-205), and Scalable 2D Vector Graphics API (JSR-226). S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1, also adds Advanced Multimedia Supplements (AMMS) API (JSR-234) and Scalable Vector Graphics 2D API (JSR-226).
The Java implementation on the S60 platform shares many common features with the implementation on the Series 40 platform and the Series 80 platform. This allows developers to easily extend their applications‘ reach to the entire platform range.
