Nokia's browser has become open source

Nokia in Finland has made its web browser for mobile phones downloadable and upgradable for anyone.

The browser called S60 WebKit uses the same rendering engine as Konqueror on Linux (KHTML and KJS) and Safari on Macintosh (WebCore and JavaScriptCore). Optimized for the small display of mobile devices, the application supports DHTML and AJAX.
