Symbian has made available its web application development tools, making app development on the Symbian platform as easy as creating a webpage.
"Now anyone can create fantastic applications for devices such as the Nokia N8, the world's first Symbian^3 device," said Lee Williams, executive director of Symbian.
Using Symbian's tools, any web developer can simply apply all their existing skills with HTML, CSS and JavaScript but in a mobile context.
The added value delivered is in areas like mobile-specific app preview, debugging and deployment capabilities.
