Digia @Web - 1st Finger Touch Web Browser for Symbian UIQ
Digia @Web - 1st Finger Touch Web Browser for Symbian UIQ. A first full finger touch web browser for UIQ platform phones has been created by Digia Plc. This application which is called Digia @Web is designed for UIQ 3 and Symbian OS. The mobile browser is based on the open-source webkit browser engine ported to UIQ by Digia, and a whole new browser UI that gives powerful and intuitive access to true web content. It is based on the same core Nokia's S60 browser and Apple's Safari use - Webkit. Other users of the webkit browser engine also include iPhone and Google Android.

Digia's Director of Special Projects, Tuukka Turunen, said: "We chose webkit as the engine for our browser because it is fast and reliable, and allows web content to be seen in its true form. By combining the open-source webkit engine with our new and intuitive browser UI we have created the best and most powerful tool to surf the web with touch enabled UIQ phones."

Actually the pre-installed Opera browser is good, but you still need a stylus from time to time to use it at this time. In case you're interested in trying this app, the Digia @Web public beta will be available for downloads during this month, June 2008.
