S60 Platform SDK for Symbian OS, for C++ allows C++ developers to quickly and efficiently run and test applications for devices that are compatible with the S60 Platform. Using a C++ for Symbian OS language integrated development environment (IDE), development with the SDK is hosted on a PC. The SDK delivers all the tools required to build C++ for Symbian OS applications. The tool's package contains the S60 device emulator, API implementations, documentation, and sample applications. The S60 Platform device emulator allows applications to be run and tested without a device.

The Web browser of the S60 Platform device emulator allows web applications to be run and tested without a device.

The emulator of the 3rd Edition SDK can be used for verifying Flash Lite content before the final testing in a 3rd Edition device.
