Massimo Carli ha iniziato la pubblicazione di un libro gratuito dedicato allo sviluppo di applicazioni per terminali Java ME. Il suo copioso lavoro (i cui capitoli sono rilasciati settimanalmente) e’ disponibile presso il sito web:

Si preannuncia un’opera molto completa. Bravo Massimo!
Beeweeb partecipa all’evento su Flash Video organizzato da Adobe e Interact presentando le proprie soluzioni di Mobile TV e le nuove possibilita’ offerte da Flash Lite.
Thanks to Davide’s comment, I’ve slightly modified the RFID icon sample. Here is the second attempt:
Now it appears more brilliant and actually simpler to identify. What is your opinion?

Harmonizing icons is a way to simplify access to well-known functionalities and services of computer and devices. The advent of “Web 2.0” brings new icons that are related to social services and distributed resources. The most famous of this new generation of icons is the RSS icon:
You can find this icon on web sites, client software, mobile devices, wherever there is a feed you can subscribe to. Something similar has been proposed for OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language), an XML format for outlines:
Other icons are still on the road. Working on RFID world, I’ve found that an icon to identify tags is still missing. Such an icons could be used as a sticker on real objects to show that it can be read with a suitable reader. Or it could be placed on a web site promoting a place to indicate that resource are tagged. I’ve tried to create an icon for RFID tags, starting from the feeling of RSS and OPML icons. This is my humble proposal for that:
Does anybody like this icon? 🙂
Vi segnalo un client IRC per Windows Mobile 2003 e 5.0 scritto da Saverio Castellano, esperto sviluppatore MFC/C++:
IRCino (questo il nome dell’applicazione) supporta connessioni multiple a server IRC, interfaccia a tab, gestione portrait/landscape, colori, profili… insomma e’ davvero un client completo per coloro che vogliono accedere ai canali IRC dal proprio PDA Phone. IRCino e’ in vendita presso PocketGear a meno di 10 dollari.
It is easy to let a MIDlet autostart on J9 for Windows Mobile devices: you just have to prepare a script and place it in the right place.
If you have installed J9 binaries on
\J9\MIDP20\bin
and jad file is this:
\HelloWorld.jad
you can edit on your desktop a link file (text file with .lnk extension) with this line:
255#”\J9\MIDP20\bin\emulator.exe” “-Xdescriptor:file:///HelloWorld.jad”
and copy this file (e.g., app.lnk) in the autostart directory under Windows folder. In the italian version it is:
\windows\esecuzione automatica
(“esecuzione automatica” means “automatic execution”), you fill find something similar on your device, whatever language you have.
If you use Windows Mobile 2003 you’ll experience autostart only when the device is being rebooted. I tested this solution with WEME 6.1.1 on a Qtek 9090.
Flash Lite vs J2ME
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM US/Pacific
17:00 PM – 18:00 PM CET
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM US/Pacific
2:00 AM – 3:00 AM CET (on Thursday)
This eSeminar will provide a brief introduction to Flash Lite™ and J2ME. The technologies each have inherent advantages and disadvantages, and this eSeminar will use common application examples to highlight how these differences impact both developers and users.
Agenda:
# Quick introduction to Flash Lite and J2ME. We will provide a brief intro on both technologies and will analyze the development tools they offer to try to shed some light on their most widely recognized faults and strengths.
# A look at network-oriented applications. We will focus on how to develop a network-oriented application given the security issues that each of Flash Lite and J2ME presents. We will then analyze and compare these technologies with an eye on their different capabilities for external communications.
# Finally, the eSeminar will examine the correct techniques and work methods needed to produce a user-friendly interface for mobile. Our comparison exercise will then focus on the different approaches each technology uses for preparing graphics.
Speakers
Giorgio Natili, Mobile and Web Developer
Stefano Sanna, Mobile Application Architect, Beeweeb Technologies
Edoardo Schepis, Developer, Funambol

E’ disponibile tutto il materiale del seminario online “Flash Lite vs J2ME” all’indirizzo: http://mobile.actionscript.it/document.cfm?id=93
Vi ricordo stasera alle 19:00 su http://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/flvsj2me/ il confronto tra FlashLite e Java ME; durante una chiacchierata (con slide!) di due ore Giorgio Natili, Edoardo Schepis ed io cercheremo di illustrare le caratteristiche essenziali dei due ambienti piu’ in voga per lo sviluppo di applicazioni per dispositivi mobili. Il seminario sara’ in lingua inglese. Partecipate numerosi!
E’ disponibile per gli abbonati il secondo numero di Java Journal:
La cover story di questo numero parla di Java Micro Edition: Edoardo Schepis e Matteo Zinato affrontano rispettivamente una ricognizione sulle API opzionali e sulle tecniche di ottimizzazione del codice. Si parla poi di ANT, di Resource Management e vi sono degli approfontimenti di Java 5. Si inaugura anche la rubrica Community Watch, curata da me, che si propone di offrire una panoramica delle attivita’ delle comunita’ di sviluppatori. Come gia’ detto, la rivista e’ distribuita solo in abbonamento. Vi ricordo anche il blog di Java Journal, che presente quotidianamente articoli, interviste, recesioni e piccoli tutorial.
