Java and Nokia ..

Java Platforms Micro Edition a.k.a Java ME provides a robust, flexible environment for applications running on mobile and other embedded devices—mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), TV set-top boxes, and even printers as well. Java ME includes flexible user interfaces, security, built-in network protocols, and support for networked and offline applications that can be downloaded dynamically. Applications based on Java ME are portable across many devices, yet leverage each device's native capabilities. Springsource is one of the companies that provides java services - our friendly neigbourhood Nokia, the one which makes the mobile computers (n900) and booklets, are part of their clientele for java application servers. I think they are in for those Apache Tomcat servers, they seem to be pretty popular everywhere. Finnish telecoms solutions provider Nokia had signed an agreement with the United Kingdom software company Ubiquity Software Corporation Plc to offer the Ubiquity SIP Application Server as part of the Nokia IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solution. Under a reseller agreement with Nokia, Ubiquity's programmable, JAVA-based, 3GPP-compliant SIP Application Server will be integrated into Nokia's IP Multimedia Subsystem solution. As a result, the open service creation environment and runtime server will be available globally as part of Nokia's solution for providing excellent performance in it's mobile handsets.
