Sun delivers Java to Windows Mobile phone from HP July 08, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Sun is the company that created Java, so obviously getting wireless Java from Sun would mean that it would be better than getting it from some small company that has licensed it from Sun. However nowadays wireless Java is not particularly important... apart from rare situations, where no native applications are available for Windows Mobile, like it is in case of Google Mail (GMail) that is available as mobile web application or as Java midlet, but not as native Windows Mobile application. Information from Sun follows. * * * * * Sun Java Wireless Client Available On Latest HP iPAQ Smartphone Java Technology Enables Wireless E-mail Service For HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Messenger Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced that Java Platform Micro Edition (Java ME) is integrated in the new HP iPAQ 900 series Business Messenger smartphone. Based on the Sun Java Wireless Client software - Sun's Java ME implementation for wireless handsets - and enhanced with custom features designed specifically for HP, the new HP 3G smartphone delivers a flexible wireless e-mail experience1, including convenient voice2 control and hands-free operation. Sun Engineering Services delivered the Java ME binary implementation customized and tuned to a specific feature set requested by HP. The Sun Java Wireless Client software integrates with the Windows Mobile 6.1 native user interface, enabling customers to view e-mail in the original HTML format, access contact information and much more through a familiar operating environment. "We are excited to have worked with HP to deliver Java ME on their new HP iPAQ smartphone," said Eric Klein, vice president of Java marketing at Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Delivering the optimized binary Java technology implementation in a timely fashion demonstrates the value of Java technology and Sun's growing engineering services business in providing our worldwide partners with consistent, unifying solutions and rapid time to market." "By offering Java on our newest HP iPAQ Business Messenger, we are able to deliver a richer, enhanced mobile experience for our customers," said Susan Macke, vice president of marketing for the handheld global business unit at HP. "The development of the new smartphone and our work with Sun Microsystems reinforces HP's commitment to meeting the growing and varied needs of our mobile users." Information on Sun's Engineering Services group and how it can deliver binary and optimized implementations of the MSA platform for customers is available at: http://java.sun.com/javame/overview/services.jsp The new HP iPAQ 900 series Business Messenger features the new Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system and latest wireless technologies including tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
