You know how everything goes around apps these days. In that sense, every handset maker and platform builder wants to attract as many developers as possible to its platform to offer end-users a better experience. Sony Ericsson is no exception and in that sense, they said they’ll extend their sorta, kinda powerful mobile Java platform to the entry-level 3G phones.
The idea is logical – by making more phones run applications, a single app could be used by millions, something every developer would appreciate — or that’s at least the theory, which we see doesn’t always work, like that’s the case of Symbian.
Anyway, the company hopes that this move will especially be important for those developers which want to make apps for the ever-growing Chinese market. We’re not sure whether this can fly, but we’re certainly happy to see a major handset maker thinking about the application offering for the end-users.

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.
