hi ,
Nokia 5800 XpressMedia , It will be the first Nokia touch screen Mobile and It will be based on S60 touch OS
As per I know ,Till now Nokia have't unveiled any information regarding S60 touch screen OS , Right now you can't start developing application for it , you will have to wait for it ,

Thanks and regard

Yes, S60 Touch has not yet been released, and we don't know yet how the APIs and classes for touch support look.

But we can speculate a little, can't we? Because since the beginning of Symbian there is the method CCoeControl::HandlePointerEventL. It's in actual use in UIQ where it is the place to react to pointer events. It is also defined in present-day S60 but plays no role, I would think, because it is never called.

Now, what are the chances that Nokia implements S60 Touch by, among many other things of course, using this method, and what are the chances that it invents a brand new method? Hard to say...
