Tuesday April 29, 2008 Xerox PARC it right here in the Java ME technology spot
Xerox PARC has it going on with Java ME technology. Look at their Seamless Doc Viewer. Reminds me of the iPhone Web browser, panning and zooming and what-not. Cool. Xerox PARC is a player! See: Xerox PARC knows how to use Java ME to it's fullest Here's a quote: Seamless Document Viewer A J2ME application designed to help solve the problem of viewing documents on small screens (cell phones and other mobile devices), this app automatically segments a document into blocks and displays the keyphrase for each block. The keyphrases are intended to help users navigate to sections of interest quickly. The cell phone demo we saw used a fairly intuitive touchscreen interface that included an interesting way to pan and zoom in and out of sections of a document. Because documents viewed through the application need to be processed and analyzed in advance, it is better suited for viewing PDF's and static documents, not frequently updated web pages.Who needs the Apple, Inc. iPhone? :-) |
