NS BASIC has released an upgrade to its NS Basic/Symbian software development toolset that adds support for the Nokia 5800 and its touchscreen, letting you write BASIC programs on the desktop, then downloading them to mobile device. NS Basic/Symbian OS 1.1 has improved screen rendering and gradient buttons, and added Italian languages the IDE supports.
"The Nokia 5800, with more than a million units shipped, is one of the fastest selling smartphone devices in history." said NS BASIC's George Henne. "Now, the easiest way to create apps for Nokia smartphones is also one of the first to provide touchscreen support."
