Developers get a crack at first complete Symbian^3 Product Development Kit

Today, just shy of a month after the first functionally complete version of Symbian^3 was released, the first complete Symbian^3 Product Development Kit (PDK 3.0.0) is available for download, including the full build of the platform and complete source code under the Eclipse Public License.

PDK 3.0.0 contains all of the APIs of Symbian^3, and is the first release to support a full UI ROM execution on ARMv5 platforms.

"S^3 represents a major step forward in the Symbian platform, providing a greatly improved user experience, multiple personalised homescreens, an exciting and advanced multimedia experience including HDMI support, the introduction of Next Generation Graphics, better data networking and much, much more! Symbian also commissioned a great new theme for the S^3 platform called 'Fresh' which is included for the first time in this PDK," Mark Skrebels, Release Council Chair and Senior Release Manager at Symbian said in the Symbian Blog today.

To obtain PDK 3.0.0, you must first register in the Symbian developer community here.
