Hmmm… So those were some of the rumors. The S60 browser team has posted on their blog that the browser is here to stay with enhancements currently being taken from the Leopard branch. Here is a quote from the post:
We are not backing away from Webkit no matter what you might have read on one of those new-fangled “website” things — I’ll have to get somebody to show me one sometime soon. As I understand it, one of our developers did some housekeeping on the Tiger branch of the webkit project, and some people thought it looked like we were backing away from the whole open-source project. No, no, no — it’s just that we’re focusing on the newer Leopard branch, we have a lot on our plates right now (you might have heard about Nokia’s acquisition of Trolltech, for example) and there’s only so much we can do at once.
Cool. Long live the S60 web browser.
