Mobile Development News

Sony Ericsson's new W950 is the first Symbian OS Walkman®.  Being in the Walkman line, it has ample storage for music and videos.  However, this is also a tremendous amount of storage for development on a phone.  Using Symbian OS v9.1, UIQ 3, and J2ME development can bring many untapped opportunities to this platform.

The music experience on the phone can be so much more than the music tracks themselves. Sony Ericsson Developer World contributes to establishing Sony Ericsson as a leader in Mobile Music by creating a Mobile Music ecosystem and recently introduced a dedicated web section to stimulate the development of music-related Java™ ME applications. The addition of the new W950 sees this resource expand to include Symbian OS and UIQ 3, giving both C++ and Java ME developers the opportunity to imaginatively use music and audio in their applications.
