S60 Open to new features

Last week was very busy week in Madrid. S60 Summit, Demonstrations, parties, dinners. I barely found time to do any shopping there:-) Phil has already listed web coverage of the S60 Summit in see into S60. No need to repeat.

100 million S60 phones landmark is now reached. Samsung announced a new device SGH-i400 and LG starts to ship JoY in Europe. Nice milestones.

In my opinion S60 should systematically announce shipment numbers like Symbian. Every quarter! Not every now and then, including sometimes Nokia numbers, sometimes all licensees. There was an announcement on 3GSM time about  S60 shipments. ”Nokia alone has cumulatively shipped nearly 85 million S60 enabled devices by the end of 2006″. Now it’s 100 million all the licensees all together. Cumulatively. I like hard facts, exact terms, systematic approach, not marketing BS. If you know a card game called tuppi, one very basic principle is that cumulative points are never counted. It only matters what you have now.
