Sony Ericsson keeps adding tutorials to its Developer World site. The new “Getting started with Web Services with UIQ 3 and gSOAP” tutorial describes how to use the gSOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) package to enable Web services consumption on the UIQ 3 platform.
Unlike the Java ME Platform using JSR 172, the UIQ 3 platform offers no default stub generator. However, by using the popular open-source gSOAP package, it is possible to consume Web services in a similar manner to the Java ME Platform.
gSOAP 2.7.8c is a cross-platform development environment for C/C++ Web services and this new tutorial introduces the subject area, gives set up advice and then takes you through how to create a Google example application.

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.
