All computer-aided design (CAD), drawing and diagramming programs create vector graphics formats, such as AI, DXF and WMF (see graphics formats). , and dynamic data such as blogs and RSS feeds. Akira Publisher 2.0 applications run on standard J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) A version of Java 2 for cellphones, PDAs and consumer appliances. J2ME uses the K Virtual Machine (KVM), a specialized Java interpreter for devices with limited memory. MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) A programming interface (API) for cellphones and pagers for the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME). It provides support for a graphical interface, networking and storage of persistent data for "MID Profile" applications, 2.0 handsets from popular manufacturers such as LG, Motorola, Nokia, PalmOne, Sanyo, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson, and others. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Ovum, there will be a total of about 2 billion mobile phone users within the next year or so, and according to their statistics, there are over 450 million Java-enabled handsets today. Using Akira mobile technology, consumers simply access the content and applications over-the-air (OTA (Over The Air) Refers to any wireless system such as AM/FM radio and network television that uses open space as its transmission medium. ) without the need to pre-install memory-intensive players or the need to gain access to the content through a specific carrier. Typical Akira applications range from about 30 to 90 KB. Akira Publisher 2.0 solves many of the problems associated with mobile phones today, and: --Reduces device fragmentation: Akira content can reside on any MIDP2.0 handset and is device and operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. agnostic. --Speeds up productivity and time to market, and ultimately increases ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). : Publisher 2.0 has an easy-to-use graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to and does not require sophisticated coding or knowledge of programs or scripts. Users can learn how to author content for mobile phones in minutes, resulting in rapid development and market entry and significant increases in ROI. --Eliminates device constraints: Akira-compressed applications take advantage of distributed processing and anticipatory streaming to take the load off wireless devices and mobile phones that have limited processing power, memory, storage, battery life, and display capabilities. --Works with bandwidth constraints: Akira technology has been optimized to work with the bandwidth and quality-of-service constraints associated with today's mobile networks. "Akira has extended Java by providing a set of common APIs across platforms. The Akira player, which can be embedded within the content or application, itself, or which can reside on the handset, contains an abstraction layer that resolves differences by device class," said Steve H.
