An on-device debugging feature is being included in the next release of Carbide.j (formerly Nokia Developer’s Suite for J2ME), a software development tool for Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME). On-device debugging feature allows a developer to check the code while it is running on the phone. It is a big improvement over testing on an emulator that may not always match the phone’s precise operation. A small debug agent is required to be installed on the device, in order to make the new on-device debugging feature works. This new feature supports S60 3rd edition phones, including the Nokia ESeries and NSeries phones. Developers who use the new on-device debugging feature can benefit from reduced development times, lower costs, and faster time to market.
UPDATE: Screencast for Carbide.c++Â is now also available.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
