Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin bridges Java ME and Adobe Flash Lite
Sony Ericsson announced plans to release a new technology that bridges the Abobe Flash Lite and Java ME development platforms. The so called Project Capuchin make it possible to "combine the richness of Flash Lite and Java ME technologies" allowing developers to "utilize the best attributes of both software stacks to create content-rich mobile applications." The technology will be made available during the H2 2008. Project Capuchin will provide developers with an intuitive tool to create applications with a cleaner user interface (UI) without sacrificing the strong, feature rich and widely deployed Java ME infrastructure, including secure, well-developed content distribution. Project Capuchin's bridging software will empower two distinct developer communities to leverage their respective expertises to create the next generation of highly engaging and immersive mobile content. To put it in other words, expect to see Flash Lite content encapsulated in Java ME applications. More advanced capabilities will allow Flash Lite to handle an entire presentation layer and make it possible to create Java ME applications where some or all UI components are defined in Flash. --- Related Articles at IntoMobile:
