Providing Content for Mobile Devices
Filed in archive Mobile Devices by jason on September 15, 2005
This morning I listened to a very interesting podcast from ITconversations entitled Mobile Computing on the Edge. It was a presentation by Jon Bostrom who is the Senior Director, Java in Technology Platforms, at Nokia. The reason I found it interesting is that it provided a very clear direction for those entrepreneurial Java developers who want to get involved in creating applications for mobile devices.
Jon Bostrom explains that Nokia provides Java developers with the three things needed to get started developing content for mobile devices.
- The mobile devices that run Java applications: "By December 2005 Nokia estimates that more than 300 million platform devices will have been shipped."
- Nokia is providing a sales channel for developers. Nokia's "Preminet Solution reduces complexity for content providers and operators by offering a single point through which applications and multimedia content can be traded. "
- Freely available Software Development Kits and emulators
John Gage say that 78% of mobile devices today are using Java. After hearing about Nokia's offerings and reviewing their site I understand why. Permalink: Providing Content for Mobile Devices
