After SiraJ showed us on maemoarena.com that Java is finnaly running on N900,  asrisahalan has managed to shoot a video about it.

 

Nokia and Microsoft released a new App in the OVI Store based on their commitment to design and development of new solutions.

"Today, Microsoft and Nokia launched the first application from their alliance around mobile productivity, Microsoft Communicator Mobile for Nokia devices. This new unified communications client connects directly with a company's communications systems to streamline mobile collaboration. Owners of a number of Symbian based Nokia Eseries smartphones can download the English version today from Nokia's Ovi Store, the easiest place to get content on their Nokia device."

Kevin Sharp writes this in his Blog on Nokia Forum Blog:

"The new Nokia N8, Nokia’s first device powered by the Symbian^3 developer platform, combines internet, social networking, video, photos, music, and maps. The Nokia N8 features a 3.5-inch capacitive multi-touch screen, making it an ideal showcase for the improved UI features in the Symbian^3.

Also included is a new graphics architecture that enables richer UIs, with features such as transparency and the ability to integrate video into almost any screen layout. The UI also features a single-click approach to interaction and a new task switcher to better support Symbian OS’s full multitasking capabilities.

Additionally, for software developers, the device includes Qt 4.6 (a Nokia first), Java MIDP 2.1, and Flash Lite 4.0. developers can prepare applications for the Nokia N8 using the Nokia Qt SDK, now available in a beta version."

Nokia released a new Java Runtime 2.1 Beta for Symbian. This beta release can be installed to S60 5.0 devices only and will be available later this year for Symbian^3 devices. the Nokia Symbian Java Runtime team are going to release final add-on SIS package to S60 5.0 devices this year.
