As you guys might already known that Symbian UI will be redesigned. Here is the Symbian^4 UI concept that just be summited by Nokia on 14 January 2010.

 

Description:

 The S^4 user interface primary objective is tosimplify the S60 user experience by:

-      renewed layouts (see Butterfly Diagrambelow)

-      context menu support for list items

-      flattened command distribution withelimination of ‘tunneling’ Options commands

-      Applications Library replaces Main Menu

-      four user-facing libraries: Contacts,Music, Photos, Applications

-      Homescreen supports irregularly shapedHomescreen widgets, free placement of Homescreen widgets, and improved move anddelete functions for Homescreen widgets

-      guidelines for autosaving content reduceSave commands

-      improved task switcher minimizes Exitcommands and provides improved visual access to backgrounded ‘continuousexperience’ applications (e.g., music playback, active call, etc.)

-      prompts to users minimized

-      redesigned Control Panel andsettings/personalization information architecture

-      refocused Power menu includes master volumeand vibra on/off controls

-      interaction and layout patterns applied toall applications
