Over-shaddowed by the new Nokia phone announcements, the new Series 60 web browser sports new innovations for cell phone by using Apple’s WebKit and KDE’s KHTML code.

In Nokia’s press release, Phil Schiller over at Apple says that “Safari Web Kit’s blazing performance, efficient code base and support for open standards make it an ideal open source technology for projects like the new Web browser for S60.”

The S60 browser pulls some interesting stunts, specifically catering to the form-factor of a cell phone. It allows the user to zoom in and out to get the full context of the webpage. There’s also a visually helpful way to skip forward and back between pages visited. S60 also enables RSS feeds and AJAX compatibility—so now you can read the Mac ‘n’ Cell RSS feeds and check your Gmail from your cell phone’s browser.

According the the Series 60 webpage, the new browser provides:

• Superior user experience: innovative features and superior Web compliance provides one of the best Web browsing experiences on mobile devices, enabling use of full Web pages as they were designed
• Extensibility: collaboration of S60 with the open source community will benefit the entire S60 community as it fuels innovation and ensures support for the latest Web technologies
• Differentiation: S60 browser makes it easy to develop rich S60 applications on top of the browser, using open APIs and latest Web technologies
• Interoperability: wide support of industry standards including W3C’s HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, CSS 1, 2, & 3 (partially), DOM 1, 2, SVG-Tiny, and Web standards such as, ECMAScript, Netscape style plug-ins such as Flash Lite and audio
