A blog about everything that sounds interesting to me and Forum Nokia audience.

What if you were the owner?

You were given the task of defining which development technologies an entire smartphone platform would have.

What would be your choices?

Basic conditions - You would have to:

  • Include a security framework for each runtime, or for all of them.
  • Consider requirements from: operators, software developers and individuals.
  • Create a distribution model for applications developed on your set of runtimes.
  • Provide support for development tools.

You can also ignore legacy technologies (including operating system), and consider you have budget and R&D people to do the job.

With that said, give me your opinion!

Some examples:

  • Native-only development using X (C++, C, etc.)
  • Proprietary Java - MIDP APIs + set of proprietary packages
  • Python
  • JavaScript - also with proprietary packages talking to native services
  • All of the above
  • Flash
  • Silverlight

I promise I will pass this information on to important people in Nokia. Whether they will use it/like or not, I can't guarantee! :)
