First S60 Touch UI Screenshots Appear, Look Promising

A small bunch of S60 Touch UI screens popped up today over at Mobile Royale, and they don’t look half bad. The design has big on-screen buttons, clean design, and easy to read menus. The only item of concern is how narrow the header and footer bars are when the OS is in landscape mode. Seems like a breeding ground for repeated tapping. That said, I’m still excited to see the rest of S60 Touch. [Mobile Royale via Symbian Freak]
