Developer Spotlight: GyPSii Brings Location-Based Social Networking to S60 Devices New Devices Combine Minimalist Design, Latest Functions Nokia recently introduced three Series 40 devices that combine minimalist designs with the latest functionality and easy-to-use features. All three devices are set to ship in the third quarter.
Check out the three new Series 40 devices. Download data sheets for the three new Nokia devices. LBS in the Spotlight Location-based services (LBS) are applications that leverage the user's physical location to provide an enhanced service or experience. Location awareness can be used for navigation and mapping, workforce tracking, finding points of interest, getting weather information, and more. Location awareness also differentiates mobile applications from traditional PC and wired Internet services. This month Forum Nokia is promoting LBS technology with new documents, success cases, Code Camps, and more. Here's a preview.
Check out the latest in LBS technology. Enter the 2008 Code Example Challenge. Register for the LBS Code Camps. Get more information about the two LBS Webinars with NAVTEQ and deCarta. SVG Mobile Java Environment Unites Designers and Developers Nokia is introducing a development environment using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to enable graphic designers to implement their user interface designs directly in a Java application project. Nokia, working with rich-media SVG company Ikivo, has created a complete tool chain that lets graphic designers and developers collaborate as equal partners in developing Java applications with rich, animated user interfaces for mobile devices. The tool solution uses SVG — a royalty-free, vendor-neutral open standard for describing 2D static and animated vector graphics developed through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) — to capture visual designs in a form that integrates effectively into Java software development projects. Nokia supports SVG for Java development through its implementation of JSR-226 on Series 40 devices starting from Series 40 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 and on S60 devices starting from S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1. A new Forum Nokia screencast demonstrates the creation of a simple Java application using the SVG features of NetBeans 6.0. It also provides an introduction to creating suitable graphics using Adobe Illustrator and Ikivo Animator. Get more on Scalable Vector Graphics. Download a free 90-day trial version of the Ikivo Animator. View the "Getting Started with JSR-226 Applications" screencast. SNAP Mobile SDK 2.0: Create Mobile Games on the Java Platform Nokia recently launched SNAP Mobile SDK 2.0, an updated version of a free SDK that developers can use when creating connected mobile games on the Java platform. SNAP Mobile is an end-to-end programming platform for mass-market mobile game implementation, and it is already deployed globally. The SDK targets all Java platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) devices that conform to the MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 specifications. It also provides a completely new design for the SNAP Mobile API, offering the same rich feature set as the earlier API but with an all-new, object-oriented interface that makes game development on the Java platform simple and intuitive. The SDK ships with several development tools, including a complete emulation environment of back-end servers, which makes it easier to write and debug games. Download the SNAP Mobile SDK 2.0. Learn how to get started with the SNAP Mobile Client SDK. Get more information about Nokia's support of SNAP Mobile. Check out the SNAP Mobile Client SDK 2.0 data sheet. Personal, Context-Aware Widgets on S60 with Expanded WRT Nokia recently expanded its S60 Web Runtime (WRT) offering, allowing the creation of personal and context-aware widgets. Nokia believes this expanded WRT feature could change the economics of mobile software development by allowing anyone with Web development experience to create powerful mobile applications in just days, even hours. Developers can also make Internet services more powerful and relevant for users by adding personal data, such as using GPS to show a user's location. Also, Nokia is expanding its support of open source innovation through Open C++. The company has brought the Standard Template Library and other popular platform-independent C++ libraries to the S60 platform, extending the Open C offering announced last year. Create powerful mobile applications with the expanded S60 Web Runtime offering. User Experience Portal Gives Developers New Competitive Edge To provide developers with guidance, best practices, and tools that enable efficient application development and optimized user experience, Forum Nokia has created a new user experience portal. Topics covered on the portal include quality, usability and user experience, power management, testing and signing, and porting. Developers who study and apply this information can gain a competitive edge and produce the next generation of outstanding mobile applications. Gain your competitive edge with Forum Nokia's new user experience portal. Continue the Conversation, Live from JavaOne Developers can now continue the conversations they began at JavaOne, regardless of whether they are receiving this newsletter at the conference or back at home or the office. This new Forum Nokia JavaOne blog offers links to conference presentations and discussion board threads on mobile Java technology. Also, a special "Talk to the Guru" session will let developers chat with experts from Nokia, NAVTEQ, and uLocate to discuss the next generation in location-based services on Friday, May 9, at 9 a.m. PDT/6 p.m. CEST. Check out the JavaOne blog and participate in the "Talk to the Guru" session. Connect with Tom Libretto, VP of Forum Nokia This month Forum Nokia is offering developers a powerful way to share their thoughts about the community. Tom Libretto, the new VP of Forum Nokia, is participating on the discussion boards to answer questions from Forum Nokia members. Tom is also open to receiving suggestions for ways to make Forum Nokia even more useful to the developer community. Here's a chance for developers to affect their futures directly. Connect with Tom Libretto on the Forum Nokia discussion boards. Developer Spotlight: GyPSii Brings Location-Based Social Networking to S60 Devices What do you get when you combine location-based services, social networking, and an S60 device? One possibility is GyPSii, a location-based social-networking platform designed for mobile devices. Announced earlier this year, GyPSii is now available for S60 mobile devices. GyPSii takes three core capabilities — user-generated content, friend-finding, and proximity-based search — and consolidates them in a single mobile user interface. The GyPSii platform also includes a Web-based service that consumers can use at home or the office. "We're connecting people with places and networks," says Shane Lennon, senior VP of strategy and marketing at Amsterdam-based GyPSii. Already GyPSii has signed distribution deals with mobile operators in China and India.
