Mobility Docs Backstage Pass
GSM technology turns 20
Mobile communications have been around for a very long time, but the sophistication of the devices used to communicate and the pace at which they evolve is what makes it exciting to be involved in documenting this technology. The BBC ran a story on the 20 year anniversary of the agreement to support GSM as a global standard for mobile communications. This agreement didn't give birth to the mobile telephone, but it's widely credited with creating the framework for the evolution of the technology to get to where it is today with billions of Java ME enabled devices being used daily around the world. That's a couple of billion reasons to use NetBeans Mobility pack! Okay, there are other development tools, but writing software for a large and rapidly growing consumer audience makes going to the office a lot more interesting than most jobs used to be.
