I am too--it's also my job. :) "S60 5th" is a marketing concept that I don't understand, I'm afraid. I think in terms of Symbian^2, Symbian^3, and Symbian^4. Symbian^4 has three active proposals, two of which will strongly affect the UI: Orbit and Direct UI. In the spirit of openness, you can read about these proposals and see our pipeline at: <a href="http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Proposals_pipeline" target="_blank">http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Propo...</a> The Direct UI proposal covers a UI overhaul that is touch and touch-hybrid based. The Major Contribution Proposal is under evaluation, and if it's approved, we will then get a User Interface proposal from Nokia, the contributor. Details for the UI have not been shared with Symbian Foundation, so I don't know much about it other than what is publicly available. Once I learn more, it will be posted to developer.symbian.org. In the mean time, I encourage you and your readers to suggest ideas for improvement to the UI, which will most certainly help things along. Use our forums: <a href="http://developer.symbian.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=28" target="_blank">http://developer.symbian.org/forum/forumdisplay.p...</a> I welcome your input.
