S60 Platform SDKs for Symbian OS, for Java

The latest edition of the S60 platform (3rd Edition Feature Pack 2) provides the support for the subset of JSR 248, it is a crucial addition in order to harmonize the mobile Java platform across different vendors. Download the final version of the SDK and follow the device announcements!

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

Free your mobile mind! Nokia "morph" video released

In (perhaps) seven years' time, nanotech materials will allow Nokia to build a mobile that changes shape from laptop to wrist-watch format. The company is publicising its research project, and has released a video of the concept phone.

The video, available from YouTube, shows several aspects of the hoped-for tech breakthroughs which Nokia is now working on.

The sequence shows why it's called "morph" - not because of any similarity to Tony Hart's plasticine homonculus, but because it can change its shape.

Take the flat "open" format screen, fold it like a map (left) and it becomes a perfectly standard "candy-bar" phone.

ull the earpiece off and use it as a Bluetooth headset, and wrap the phone around your wrist [right] and it becomes a watch-phone.

The work Nokia and Cambridge University (England) are collaborating on is a joint nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University.

It was launched in New York a week ago, at the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition, which runs from February 24 to May 12, 2008, at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Morph features in both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA's official website. More information about the Nanoscience Centre is also available at www.nanoscience.cam.ac.uk.

It is an 1800 square metre research facility, was completed in January 2003 and is at the north east corner of the University's West Cambridge Site.

The Centre provides open access to over 300 researchers from a variety of University Departments to the nanofabrication and characterisation facilities housed in a combination of Clean Rooms and low noise laboratories. Office space is primarily home to the Department of Engineering's Nanoscience Group, technical and administrative staff and members of other research groups who require long term access to facilities.

Nokia N80

The Nokia N80 is a multimedia 3G smartphone made by Nokia with support for high-speed UMTS/WCDMA connections. Features include a 3-megapixel camera with built-in flash (on the back of the device), another camera (on the front) for videoconferencing, Wi-Fi (802.11g), Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), FM radio, Bluetooth 1.2, digital music player functionality, MiniSD memory card slot, and support for 3D Java games. Because of its memory card and relatively large screen, it can function as a portable media player.

It uses the third edition of the Series 60 user interface (S60v3) and the Symbian operating system version 9.1. It is not backward compatible with software compiled for earlier versions of the Symbian operating system.

The N80 is Nokia's first UPnP-compatible phone, allowing you to transfer media files to compatible devices over Wi-Fi.
