UIQ 3.1

UIQ 3.1 is the latest release from UIQ and further extends configuration options when creating new mobile phones and provides added benefits in both usability and flexibility. The new UIQ release is based on Symbian OS v9.2.

Broader flexibility in softkey configurations

The broad softkey flexibility allows mobile phone manufacturers to configure the placement of softkeys and thereby be able to apply a softkey and key setup according to their product portfolio. Phone manufacturers can choose to use the general industrial standard for softkey layout, where there is no separate back hardware key, or use a layout where there is a separate hardware key for the back command, and the softkeys are efficiently used.

SVG Tiny, Scalable Vector Graphics, for a richer graphical experience

The support for SVG graphics has improved the graphical capabilities in UIQ. The SVG Tiny 1.2 Player instantly displays high-quality static images at any resolution, and runs animations smoothly. SVG Tiny is suited for building rich mobile applications. SVG contributes to a richer user experience where, for example, animated SVG icons can be used as application icons in the Application launcher.

Task list facilitating user navigation

The new Task list is launched at once when you hold down the menu key and it displays the last used applications. The Task list makes multi-tasking easier by providing the user with a simple way to navigate between applications. The content in the Task list can be customized by phone manufacturers.
