Friday January 26, 2007 Hide your OSes: Do it with Java ME technology
This InformationWeek article compares operating systems on smartphones. The OS determines features, performance, and security via the available OS APIs. However, you can hide all that with Java ME technology layered on top to abstract your OS and have enterprise IT apps be written once, run on any smartphone. WOROAS. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it? See: Here's a quote: The top U.S. cellular carriers--Cingular, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint--have made progress over the past year upgrading their networks to support high-speed data services, and T-Mobile is pouring $2.7 billion into its infrastructure. The upgrades make it more feasible for road warriors to access applications while on the move. Demand for wireless access to business apps is fueling smartphone sales.It's time to stop the madness and program to Java ME instead of the OS. |
