 David Rivas, vicepresident of Technology Management at Nokia, showed off a demo of the interface for the Symbian^3 smartphone OS at a demo in San Francisco earlier this week. The first Nokia phones running the now completely open source platform will be available later this year.
During the presentation, which primarily demonstrated customizing the interface, Rivas talked about the features that will set it apart in the smartphone market. Of particular note were his comments about multitasking. He pointed out that Nokia has had multitasking on their smartphones for several years, and indicated it will be "coming much more front and center." You can see the demo in this video.
