"In the next five years the number of smart wireless devices out
there is going to increase exponentially, and we're going to find
ourselves in one of the most interesting periods in communication
history since the invention of the telephone" Sun Microsystems president, chairman, and CEO Scott McNealy said.
Almost all of these will have Sun's Java platform, J2ME, for small footprint devices.
Smart phones, wireless devices with computer operating systems, will increase from 11.6 million handsets 2004 to nearly 325 million
worldwide by 2008. They'll become advanced communications devices and mobile theaters, capable of managing 3-D desktop systems, running high-density video, and delivering
TiVo-like functionality.
A joint venture among Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola,
and Matsushita,Symbian is poised to corner the market on operating systems for smart
phones. Symbian OS integrates the power of computing with telephony, bringing advanced data services - using voice, messaging and on-board processing power - to the mass market.
Our software developers are well versed
with software development tools (CodeWarrior, J2ME MIDP2.0, Symbian SDK, MS Mobile Toolkit) and development
methodologies for hand held devices. We can provide customized software development
services to you, in these areas.
