Nokia has launched a new version of SDK for SNAP Mobile, its end-to-end solution for connected mobile gaming in Java technology. The version 2.2 features a number of improvements, including:

  • New game template which provides a complete implementation for all required community functionality such as friends list and chat, with an interface that allows developers to either plug in existing game code, or to use as a basis for entirely new connected games.
  • Skinable UI framework that allows developers to quickly manipulate a game’s look and feel with easy to change XML.
  • Support for J2SE, enabling developers to design games with cross platform support.
  • The new Bot API which helps developers deliver a better connected game experience.

More information about SNAP Mobile is available from Forum Nokia’s website.

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.
