Just watched this which I caught over at all about symbian, its an S60 Touch UI demo video with many examples of the UI in action. Good stuff, although dragging down the web browser screen to make the content move up seems counter-intuitive, along with using a stylus, Windows Mobile users want to move away from that so Symbian needs to think more about that one.

For Apple watchers, next week will — if rumors are correct — bring a host of reasons to rejoice.
The sold-out Worldwide Developer Conference, or WWDC, happening June 9-13 in San Francisco, is widely expected to be the venue at which company CEO Steve Jobs unveils a second-generation iPhone, a panoply of new applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a new MacBook Pro and the next upgrade to OS X, codenamed "Snow Leopard."
Developers wishing to release software applications for the iPhone and iPod touch for free are being encouraged by Apple to charge a fee instead, according to AppleInsider.
People familiar with the iPhone Developer Program initiated in March note that companies and individuals approved for the program are being assigned a liaison, or "development partner," who serves as a resource, offering advice and gathering feedback on plans for applications that will eventually be submitted to upcoming App Store for approval.

Microsoft Corp will focus on improving music in future versions of its Windows Mobile software for mobile phones, an executive told Reuters on Friday. Software giant Microsoft’s mobile communications division provides operating systems for smartphones and other mobile devices based on the Windows Mobile platform.

He declined to provide any details.
