Choosing a mobile phone...

There has been a lot of talk of mobile devices recently for the obvious reason.  What this hype has highlighted is that mobile devices are becoming rather more interesting now operators are opening up network access, reducing charges, and the devices improve in capabilities.

When your choosing your next phone, you may like to consider something more than a 10mp camera, a sliding keyboard, or even if it has Java or not.

Having the open source Java platform on your device is great to enable third-party applications like Google mail, Google maps, Opera mini, games and so on - but with the latest JSRs such as location based services, scalable vector graphics, bluetooth, camera access, advance multimedia, web services and more, you may want to consider a phone that contains even more capabilities that are open to worlds most popular development platform - did I say it's open and cross-device :-)

 

This page has been in existence for a while now, but I think it's a page that deserves more air time. 

The JavaME Device Table

Just take a look at the Nokia N76 for example!  Cooool.

So now, if you want to develop a location-based, contact less payment, video streaming, 3D, social application :-) for a whole range of mobile devices, easily, you can! 


Oh, and I guess that's where I plug NetBeans mobility too :-)
