Lee Epting, vice president for Forum Nokia, told The Register Nokia is determining how it can use AJAX, specifically in relation to its open source, Safari-based browser announced in November 2005.
The Register reported that Nokia is evaluating the broader use of AJAX with its handsets specially to use it with the third-edition S60 device.
AJAX is enjoying almost viral success among Web 2.0 developers and a growing number of Silicon Valley software start-ups. AJAX has been seized upon because it let ISVs and services providers, like Google, give their online services the level of interface functionality and responsiveness traditionally only found on desktop applications. AJAX has added potential for mobile devices, because it supports applications that function in "occasionally connected" mode
Nokia’s support for AJAX has been welcomed by at least one Nokia partner. Paul Fulton, chief executive and president of mobile systems developer Orative, called AJAX "fabulous" because it gives mobile devices dynamic access to online content without the need for the user to manually refresh the page.
S60 OSS Browser
The Web browser for S60 is based on the WebCore and JavaScriptCore components of Apple’s Safari Web Kit that Apple uses in its Safari browser. Based on KHTML and KJS from KDE's Konqueror open source project, this software has enabled Nokia to achieve improvements in Web site usability on smartphones through the re-use of a proven desktop rendering engine that has been developed and optimized by a large open source community over many years.
