I've never really used a Nokia phone but that sounds interesting. I'm sure it will have a lot of possibilities.

Didn´t Nokia also make a pact with Microsoft about their Windows for cell phones? Or some media player stuff? How does that fit? :p

Most of the Series 60 phones already are fully compatible, aren't they? My 3650 and iBook get along like ducks. :)
Mmmm...if this is a series 60 browser, I hope it can work on existing hardware!

Isn't webcore at the heart of iTunes?
Yes, webcore is what's used to display the music store.

Then I suspect Apple is putting iTunes on more than Motorola phones;)

Lets not forget here that Apple's Webcore and Javascript core are themselves derived from KDE, the free desktop used frequently on Linux and other Unixes. So congratulations to all the guys at KDE who worked on this excellent software for free!
