The Python programming language added the super type back in version 2.2. For some reason, it’s still a topic that a lot of beginners don’t understand. One of my readers recently asked me about it and since I don’t really use it, I decided to do some research in the hopes of understanding its usage Continue reading Python 201: What is super?

Nokia Browser for Symbian (formerly known as Web Browser for S60) was the default web browser for the S60 and Symbianmobile phone platform.[1] The browser is based on a port of Apple Inc.’s open-sourceWebCore and JavaScriptCore frameworks which form the WebKit rendering engine that Apple uses in its Safari Web browser.[2][3]
- 1History
History[edit]
The first version in 2002 was lacking support for the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and Wireless Markup Language (WML) and Adobe Flash lite. s60 version 2 introduced support for WAP and WML.[4] Hence the Nokia Services (WAP) browser was the default browser on initial device shipments of this platform.
Nokia announced porting WebKit to the S60 Browser in June 2005,[5] and made it available in November.[2] At the 2006 World Wide Web Conference, Nokia announced that it was releasing the source code for its port of WebKit back to the community.[6]
Browser[edit]
It supports:
- HTML
- WAP 2.0 (XHTML)
- Cookies and JavaScript
- Wide web pages can be formatted for mobile viewing
- Multi-file download
- Super web browsing
Drawbacks:
- Multi-window browsing is not supported.
- It does not compress pages, which puts a greater strain on the phone's processor and bandwidth usage.
S60v3 Browser (1 April 2006)[edit]
It supports:
- HTML
- WAP 2.0 (XHTML)
- Cookies and flash player
- Multi-window browsing
- Many files (up to 10) can be downloaded at once. This s60 v3 was the first version to support Adobe Flash lite.
Nokia Browser 7.0[edit]
Nokia Browser 7.0 is supported on S60 5th Edition devices.
This version supports all of the features of prior to the Nokia Browser 7 releases, as well as the following additional features:

Nokia Browser 7.1[edit]
Nokia Browser 7.1 is supported on S60 3rd and 5th Edition devices.
New features:
- Based on WebKit 525
- Full support for Flash Lite 3.0[7]
- Supports kinetic scrolling[8]
- User-configurable shortcut keys and visual keymap
- Full-screen view[9]
Drawbacks:
- Copy paste support is poor. If you have a device with no Control-key or Pen-key, you can not copy paste in most web forms. With older Nokia models, like N95 or E90, this was not a problem, as N95 had a Pen-key and E90 had a Control-key. New N86 and N97 do not have such keys. However, E72, which was released in 11/2009, has a Control-key.
- Some jQuery effects are not supported (fadeIn and slideDown)
