S60 Open to new features

Our delightful journey with this User Experience blog has now come to an end
as S60.com is gearing toward more customer-oriented content. Our mission was
to share our expertise and insights with you developers and in return learn
more from you. And that mission was a success – we all made it happen! Thank
YOU!

The blog team has loved every moment, as we hope you did as well. Looking
back, this has been a unique project. We were able to raise and discuss a
great variety of hot topics, including mobile Flash, users in different
cultures, different application areas and concepts and personalization, to
name a few. However, the biggest category was User in sight. That’s the
starting point to everything. For User Experience specialists, following
user needs and behaviour is a continuous undertaking.

So where to go next? Luckily, there are many excellent blogs and sites out there continuing the discussion we started. My recommendations include my friend Kelly's great blog Gotomobile, Niko Nyman's versatile blog and one particularly interesting UX site, by one of my favourite writers: Scott Berkun’s UX clinic. Check it out, and while you’re at it, post a link to your own favourite UX site in the comments!

One more look into the future of User Experience. I see an emerging and
maturing world full of diversity - and that world has no borders. The key
element of success in the UX field is seamlessness: the ability to combine
user research, interaction design and UI design into one natural
uninterrupted flow. That's called evolution. It will not happen overnight,
it will not happen by itself. We will make it happen, together. If you want to learn more, just contact me.

So, I won’t bid you completely farewell, as we are not going away. Nope. For now, meet us at Forum Nokia - lots of new and interesting fresh stuff there (for example: "S60 Platform: Visualization and Graphic Design Guideline" will be published soon). Look for us where the users are, we’re always closer than you think!

And we’re just getting started.
