Nokia announces Java CDC for new Series 60 phones
Yesterday at JavaOne, Nokia announced that it would some new Series 60 phones with Java CDC. The CDC (Connected Device Configuration) as opposed to the CLDC (Connection Limited Device Configuration) that is supported on J2ME enabled devices presently, is a J2SE (standard edition) compatible configuration. With the exception of the GUI (AWT), it is pretty much the same set of APIs. This means that J2ME developers will have a much richer set of APIs to use when developing applicatons for Nokia Series 60 smartphones. At present developers who want a more complete set of functionality for their smartphone applications have to ascend the steep learning curve of Symbian.
Hopefully this will attract a lot more developers to the Series 60 community.
