I am on a holiday, enjoying the beach and sun. Good thing about holidays, besides the obvious, is spending time with old friends.
I was talking with a colleague from a past life, who is a java veteran. We were discussing the java integration on his mobile phone.
The integration on his phone was simply a menu item for java applications. He was not happy about this behavior at all. Unfortunately for him, he is not using a S60 device.
S60 does not treat java applications special. There are no special menus for java applications, they appear as any other S60 application. The integrated behavior goes beyond application's icon appearing on the menu, covers installation as well. It is possible to install java applications via browser directly from a web site, with the PC Suite or directly from the memory card. The end result is java applications provide the familiar end user experience.
I do not know, if first class java experience is enough to convince my buddy to get an S60 phone but I was able to brag about for a good half hour.
