S60 Open to new features

JavaOne is now over. It was a very fruitful conference on my behalf. Aleksi and I had a very well attended session. We have seen a lot of interest to our technology, especially eSWT. We are going back home with the new friendships and conversations we have established. Of course we have the photos from the event. I have created an Ovi channel for our JavaOne event photos, which is embedded to this post. You should expect more pictures as I am still traveling and did not yet gather all the pictures from the event.

If you are attending the JavaOne 2008 conference, there will be a BOF on creating efficient MIDP applications. S60 Java platform engineers will discuss about varying issues on creating well performing, pleasant MIDP applications. To start the discussion, we will be sharing some tips that we have gathered working with software and game houses. The tips will cover anything from graphics performance to usability.

There is a little known program run by S60 Java platform team. We regularly work with software and game houses to find out about the problems on our platform and also help them solve problems on their applications. We hope to extend our reach with this BOF to broader developer community. I will be at the BOF and will be sharing some usability tips, I know that most of the S60 engineers that are attending the conference are going to be there. I am really hoping to hear about some of the performance tips and also problems that you face when working with the S60 Java platform.
