METROWERKS SHIPS THE FIRST DEV TOOLS FOR SYMBIAN OS V7.0.Metrowerks has announced the availability of the first development tools designed specifically for the new Symbian OS An open standard operating system for data-enabled mobile phones (smartphones) from Symbian Ltd., London (www.symbian.com). It supports Java, PC synchronization, Bluetooth local wireless access and GPRS packet-switched data. v7.0. CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS, Professional Edition, Version 1.0 was developed in partnership with Symbian and will be used by Symbian, its licensees, and their partners to create system software and applications for the next generation of Symbian OS phones. The toolset enables wireless developers to develop, build and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. C++ and PersonalJava 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. components and applications, all within the same Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE), for Symbian OS mobile phones. The CodeWarrior IDE allows developers to easily plug in device specific SDKs to support multiple Symbian OS configurations including phone designs from different Symbian OS licensees. "Metrowerks' CodeWarrior for Symbian OS is an essential part of our strategy to give developers world class software development tools for our P800 multimedia smartphone," said Cyrus Allen, head of global business development and alliances for Sony Ericsson For an arrangement of Sony Ericsson products, see list of Sony Ericsson products Sony Ericsson is a joint venture established in 2001 by the Japanese consumer electronics company Sony Corporation and the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to make mobile phones. Mobile Communications. "Our relationship with Metrowerks gives developers a competitive edge, helping them avoid configuration headaches and get straight to developing compelling content." C++ support includes Symbian OS project control, source-level interoperation with legacy tool chains, as well as batch build, software build and debug on host-based Symbian OS emulators and ARM processor-based Symbian OS devices and reference boards. PersonalJava support is also included. "Metrowerks' expertise in C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ tools in cross-compilation environments, combined with the flexibility of the CodeWarrior IDE, are key to our collaboration on tools for Symbian OS development," said Mark Edwards, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Symbian. "CodeWarrior tools will play a central role in creating the next generation of Symbian OS phones, applications and services." Future releases of CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS will deliver tighter integration with Symbian OS features, integration of Metrowerks' debugger for target device code, kernel debugging, support for the 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. Mobile Information Device Profile Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a specification published for the use of Java on embedded devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. MIDP is part of the Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) framework and sits on top of Connected Limited Device Configuration, a set (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, ), and further elimination of command-line tasks. "Our commitment to the developer community is evident in our support for emerging standards and for leading platforms like Symbian OS," said Jim Welch, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Metrowerks. "CodeWarrior, like Symbian OS, is the solution of choice for application developers looking to deliver innovative applications for wireless devices. Along with tools, Metrowerks also provides services that allow companies targeting Symbian OS development communities to gain a critical competitive edge in today's rapidly changing marketplace." In January, Metrowerks released CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS with PersonalJava Technology, which allows developers to create J2ME applications for Symbian OS phones. CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS, Professional Edition, will be on display at the Sony Ericsson booth (stands D40-D60) at the CeBIT 2002 conference in Hannover, Germany, March 13-20. CodeWarrior Development Tools for Symbian OS, Professional Edition, Version 1.0 is available today direct from Metrowerks at http://www.metrowerks.com/buy/ and from Metrowerks authorized distributors.
