Announced at the 2005 JavaOne conference in San Francisco, Nokia's vision for the next generation of the Java Platform in the mobile space will build the Connected Device Configuration (CDC) into Series 60 based smartphones. CDC provides a more flexible and modular device environment upon which Nokia and other Series 60 device manufacturers can build versatile, powerful Java technology-enabled mobile phones for consumer and enterprise users. This has the potential to bring about even richer and more complex application. This also brings more attention to the fact that handset capability is not all that far behind a full computer. Give them the 4G speeds DoCoMo is looking at (1Gbps) and high speed Xscale processors and we'll have little devices with broadband connections that outpace most wireline connections (even LANs) today with the processing speed (general purpose plus specific purpose such as media decoding) to match and we could see a big shift in the purposes of various machines. But will your apps be ready? I think that largely depends on how far out you think ... or, perhaps more accurately, how far out you can afford to think. |
