CodeWarrior Toolset Now Available for Developers Targeting Symbian OS Based Nokia Phones
AUSTIN, Texas — March 6, 2002 — Metrowerks is making it easier for wireless application developers to create compelling content and applications for Nokia mobile platforms. The company is releasing a new CodeWarrior(TM) toolset for Symbian OS(TM) targeting the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series. The toolset includes a single install process that makes it possible for developers to begin creating applications in less than 30 minutes.
CodeWarrior Wireless Studio, Nokia 9200 Communicator Series Edition, provides developers with a fast start to delivering commercial applications for this mobile platform, which has been highly popular in Europe and Asia, and is expected to ship throughout the Americas during the first half of 2002.
Included with the toolset is the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series Software Developer Kit (SDK) for Symbian OS, which enables developers to create, edit, compile, debug, emulate and deploy applications for Symbian OS-based Nokia products. Metrowerks was the first company to ship development tools for the Symbian OS, and was also the first company to deliver development tools for PersonalJava(TM) technology, utilized by the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series.
"The availability of Metrowerks' tools with the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series SDK is great news for developers of mobile applications. It is an excellent example of an advanced and powerful development toolset used to create applications for existing and future mobile devices," said Jouko Hayrynen, vice president, Forum Nokia. "We are very pleased to cooperate with Metrowerks, a premier provider of Symbian OS development tools, to provide this solution to wireless developers."
The Nokia 9200 Communicator Series combines enterprise applications, including a Microsoft Word and Excel editor and a PowerPoint viewer, with a mobile phone, Web browser, fax, e-mail, calendar, and multimedia capabilities. This advanced communication device also supports mobile Java(TM) technology. The Nokia 9200 Communicator Series SDK for Symbian OS, which is based on the Sun Microsystems PersonalJava reference implementation (v. 1.1.1), includes all optional functions except printing, and includes JavaPhone APIs.
