new Nokia official Podcast

Interesting, Nokia has started offering official podcasts, I find this podcast very interesting!

They talked about how important it is for Nokia Research Center to worked more open and together with other companies and university and how important it is with standards and Open Source.

I have earlier wondering why Nokia S40 platform support JavaME faster and bettter compared with the Nokia S60 platform. In this postcast Nokia explained it "Nokia S40 is a more closed platform and really need JavaME, but for the Nokia S60 you also have c++". But I think this is wrong, JavaME is also really needed for the S60 platform, if you would like to develop enterprise applications you need high end devices (S60) and of course really good support for JavaME.

Back in business

Back in business after 5 weeks holidays, I have now worked 3 weeks.

Last 3 month I have been able to test both a Nokia E90 and a SonyEricsson P1. It is very interesting to compare them, first I didn't liked the P1 so much, but I have now change my mind. I think I need both...

Some important things have happen during summer:

• Nokia have drop carbide.j, it is not surprising, the Netbeans & the Eclipse platform are to good developer environments!
  
• Great news, Nokia N800 now support skype, perhaps also in the future support for Skype in the Nokia S60 platform?
  
• eRCP 1.1 released, but no support for Nokia S60 yet!
• Java on a Ipod, what a great idea!
  
• Nokia MOSH released, a community for mobility devices. The mobile site is http://mosh.nokia.mobi.
• According to a Swedish newspaper (Computer Sweden) Java developer prefers Mac computers running MacOS X, I think it is perhaps correct, at least many Java developer at last JavaOne had a apple laptop. I hope Apple soon release a new smaller laptop, with flash disk and hsdpa support, perhaps close to the release of leopard in October!
