INSIDE Contactless has announced a partnership with Mobile Distillery, a specialist java mobile porting Software Company, to develop an interoperable Java ME solution for NFC developers.
INSIDE and Mobile Distillery’s partnership project aims to design a software solution for the development of portable NFC/Java Mobile Applications across multiple NFC phones. Based on Mobile Distillery’s Celsius architecture, the solution is dedicated to Mobile Software developers who will need to cope with multiple implementations of NFC technologies, which adds yet another complexity to the development of Java ME applications across multiple handsets. By using the new, NFC Celsius module, the developer will work on the NFC/Java ME application once, and run it across all NFC phones without any further modifications. Accelerated time-to-market, reduction of costs and an easy transfer to upcoming NFC phones will be the great advantages of NFC Celsius module, which will enable easier and faster adoption of NFC technology. The partnership is divided into two phases: firstly in the short term –the two companies will be developing a Celsius NFC prototype within the Q3 2007 timeframe. The second step, planned for Q1 2008, will consist of the joint development of NFC Celsius module, a complete set of Java ME NFC tools covering the commercially available NFC handsets and ones for the near future. |
