Openwave And Sun Microsystems Work On Mobile Content

Openwave announced they're working with Sun Microsystems in a plan to develop new content for mobile phones. The plan will integrate Openwave's XML-based MIDAS with sun's Java ME and will provide standards-based tools and environments to create and deliver that content. The announcement was made on Monday at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. They said this agreement will help operators and developers to rapidly create, customizer and deploy powerful new applications and interfaces for mass market mobile phones. A complete software development toolkit (SDK) that integrates with the NetBeans IDE, part of the Solaris Enterprise System, will be provided to developers to enable integrated development, device emulation, debugging and packaging of mobile applications, support industry partners and encourage development of ecosystems that leverage both Sun's Java ME technologies and W3C's XML-based Compound Document Framework (CDF). "With Java technologies and Openwave solutions each running on over one billion devices, this collaboration has deep resonance with the mobile community," said Rich Wong, Senior Vice President, Product and Solutions Group, here.")
