The Kastor UI by TAT to be included in next Nokia Firmwares?
.
Many Weblogs are reporting today some rumors about the implementation uf TAT’s Kastor UI in the next firmware updates of the Nokia N95-1.
But what is the Kastor Ui? Simply, it’s an User Interface with advanced animated transitions in 3d, that would completely change (and improve) the feel of the S60 interface. Just take a look at this video:
However, those rumors don’t seem to be too serious. The newer versions of the Symbian Os, starting from FP2, already have some graphic implementations that are in some way similar to the Kastor UI.
And, I think, it would be a strange strategy for Nokia to update their “old phones” with such new features, just because this would make the new devices less attractive compared to the “old” ones.
But also, the implementation of the Kastor UI would surely be appreciated by many users of S60 phones, as many of them are claiming that the S60 interface seems today a little outdated, especially if it is compared to the eye-candies brought by the Apple’s iPhone… ( but, I have to say, Iphone users can’t have my themes installed on it, and should be very sad for that ;))
