1.  Nokia Rolls Out Developer Platform at JavaOne
===========================================================

Nokia's Developer Platform approach is designed to help developers 
build and deliver mobile applications to a global audience in less 
time, with less effort and cost. Developers can build core 
functionality on top of the Platform technologies, and then optimize 
their applications for specific user interfaces and technology 
extensions for target devices.

Developer Platform 1.0 for Series 40 brings color displays, Java(TM) 
programmability, and multimedia messaging to the mass market. It 
provides a rich, common set of Java APIs, a browsing environment based 
on the WAP 1.2.1 specification, and multimedia messaging. Nokia 
projects that 50 million to 100 million consumers around the world will 
own Series 40 devices by the end of 2003. For more information about 
Developer Platform 1.0 for Series 40 and the tools available, please 
visit www.forum.nokia.com/series40.

The Series 60 Platform brings open standards and multi-vendor 
support to the smartphone market. Built on Symbian OS, the Series 60 
Platform provides a rich, common set of Java APIs, full C++ 
programmability, browsing, and the multimedia messaging environment 
that developers need to build everything from rich games to secure 
enterprise applications. Nokia projects that more than 10 million 
Series 60 devices will be in use globally by the end of 2003. For more 
information about the Series 60 Platform and the tools available, 
please visit www.forum.nokia.com/series60.

The Developer Platform for Series 40 and Series 60 offers sustainable 
business opportunities for mobile application developers. The Developer 
Platform gives developers the ability to reach consumers and 
enterprises alike on a mass-market scale. In addition to providing 
volume benefits, the Platform lets developers easily keep pace with new 
software and hardware technologies.


* Series 40 Platform

Key documents available for understanding the Series 40 Platform 
include:

- The Developer Platform 1.0 for Series 40 API Overview -- a Brief 
Summary

This document presents a high-level overview of APIs for the Developer 
Platform for Series 40. The Developer Platform provides a set of 
standard APIs, technologies, and tools so that developers can rapidly 
create applications that work on a large number of devices. A particular 
Series 40 device may have additional features that distinguish it from 
other devices, such as an integrated camera, support for the Wireless 
Messaging API (JSR-120), or browser support for XHTML. In the interest 
of compatibility, the Nokia 7210 mobile phone has been designated as 
the reference device for the Platform.

Readers should be familiar with the relevant technologies, specifically 
Java(TM) 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME[TM] platform), WAP 1.2.1 
browser, and Multimedia Message Service (MMS).

The document also contains a discussion of the Series 40 user interface 
and interface design guidelines, key parameters, and development 
technologies. It also includes high-level discussions of the three 
enabling technologies: the Java platform, specifically J2ME; WAP 1.2.1 
browsing; and MMS.

The overview includes references to the appropriate Nokia tools and 
documents that expand on key topics.

2.  Case Study: m-internet.com Developing Games for Symbian OS 
      and Java(TM) Technology
===========================================================

m-internet.com is a software development company based in Hong Kong 
that specializes in mobile entertainment, multimedia applications, and 
special development projects based on Symbian OS.

In November 2001, m-internet won first prize in the Mainland China 
Nokia Mobile Challenge with the MP3Go music application. In June 2002, 
the company introduced SkyRaider for the Nokia 7650 imaging phone, 
and in September of that year the company's SkyRaider for Symbian OS 
won the special award in the second Mobile Challenge Chinese Application 
Contest held by Nokia China. In November 2002, Nokia licensed 
m-internet's Red & Blue game for bundling on the Nokia 7250 device.

Today, m-internet is concentrating on developing games for the Java(TM) 
platform and has established a dedicated development team for this 
market.

m-internet's market strategy is to deliver the widest possible range of 
games that will appeal to differing tastes. The goal is for these games 
to be intuitive to play and easy to obtain and install.

The company has identified three subsets of the games market: (1) 
stand-alone downloadable games, (2) wireless games, and (3) network 
games over the GPRS network.

m-internet designs its games for all possible Nokia devices, whether 
for the Java platform or for Symbian OS, and currently has games 
that run on Series 80, Series 60, Series 40, and Series 30 devices.

m-internet follows a standard six-stage process when developing 
games:

- Game type definition
- Game design specification
- Game coding and debugging
- Artwork design
- Testing on actual devices
- Game review and modification

The developers rely heavily on Nokia tools, including the Nokia Series 
60, Series 40, and Series 30 concept SDKs and emulators. m-internet 
has also received help from Nokia in meeting the challenge of testing 
on actual devices.

Overall, Nokia has been supportive of the company's development 
efforts, providing actual phone samples, SDKs, and technical help 
through Forum Nokia. Nokia's Tradepoint has provided extensive 
marketing support. m-internet also takes advantage of industry 
events organized by Nokia.

4.  News and Announcements
=========================================================

* Clarification

In our May 20 issue, an article titled "A Report from Nokia's Mobile 
Video Conference" gave the impression that Nokia's terminals do not 
support MPEG-4 video and the MP4 file format. Actually, Nokia video-
enabled terminals do support the playback/decoding of H.263 baseline 
and MPEG-4 video inside 3GP files, as mandated in the 3GPP and 3GPP2 
codecs specifications. The MP4 file format is also supported, as long 
as the media content of the file falls within the recommendations of 
the 3GPP/3GPP2 standards. A statement in the same article describing 
MP4 formats as "bulky and unreliable" was the opinion of a third-party 
developer attending the workshop and was misattributed to Nokia. We 
apologize for the confusion.


* The Nokia 6600 Imaging Phone With Advanced Enterprise Functionality

The Nokia 6600 imaging phone is the latest in the Series 60 device 
family, and offers advanced image capabilities on a large, 
65,536-color TFT display. The integrated camera lets users record 
video clips as well as capture VGA (640 x 480 pixel) images. The 
ability to share images and messages via Multimedia Message Service 
(MMS), e-mail, infrared link, and Bluetooth makes the Nokia 6600 phone 
suitable for both mobile lifestyle and business applications. 

One of the most noticeable improvements for developers is the support 
for Java(TM) Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 and related 
APIs: the Mobile Media API (JSR-135), the Mobile Messaging API 
(JSR-120), and the Bluetooth API (JSR-82). Java applications (MIDlets) 
can be downloaded to the device by infrared link, Bluetooth, or Over 
the Air (OTA), but they must fit within device memory constraints. The 
Nokia 6600 phone supports MIDlet suites up to 64 kB in size. The 
amount of shared memory available to applications will depend on the 
number of images and applications loaded on a given device; 
applications with large memory requirements can also use MultiMedia 
Card (MMC) storage. 

The Nokia 6600 phone is well-suited to enterprise environments. 
Enhanced e-mail capabilities are supplemented by secure content 
access via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and a mobile virtual private 
network (VPN) client for corporate users. Content developers will 
appreciate the possibilities offered by MMS and Synchronized Multimedia 
Integration Language (SMIL). Personalization themes are another 
content opportunity.

The Nokia 6600 mobile phone is a tri-band device that operates on five 
continents; data carrier support is High Speed Circuit Switched Data 
(HSCSD) and GPRS.

* Nokia Starts Commercial Deliveries of Nokia 6650 Phone

After successfully completing a piloting and test program, Nokia started 
shipments of the Nokia 6650 mobile phone on June 13, 2003, to selected 
mobile operators and retailers in Europe and Asia, including Japan. The first 
operator shipments of the Nokia 6650 phone's commercial release will be 
delivered to J-Phone and mobilkom austria during June.

The Nokia 6650 phone is the first in the market capable of seamless handovers 
between GSM and Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) systems in a dual-mode network. 
Consumers will be able to enjoy global roaming on all GSM 900/1800 networks 
globally as well as on WCDMA networks in Japan and Europe.

The Nokia 6650 phone is the first 3G phone of its kind, but developers need 
not wait for a full 3G network rollout before taking advantage of its 
features. 
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) support in the device works over today's 
GSM 900/1800 networks. Even the newest features of MMS, including full-
motion video with simultaneous audio, work on today's networks. Java(TM) 
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) application support, Over the Air 
(OTA) download, and browsing via WAP 1.2.1 are also available today. All of 
these services will be enhanced by the rollout of always-on, high-bandwidth 
3G networks; however, fundamental application design will not be 
substantively affected by coming enhancements.
