Good summary of state of S40

This is an excellent whitepaper which lists all the features of S40. I'd encourage everyone to use Nokia excellent tools for development of solutions.
One comments on the touch and type API, though. This is proprietary to Nokia and despite it doing the job, I'd not recommend anyone to use it; in fact the same functionality can be achieved with standard J2ME. Everyone should discourage this type of fragmentation; its really unnecessary and not in the interest of developers.
