Recap of Mexico TechDays - Day 1

hartti | 29 November, 2006 06:42

At the same time Nokia World is held in Amsterdam (and apparently a few new phone models got announced) the Forum Nokia Americas team has been busy giving presentations about development on Nokia platforms in Mexico City TechDays (including overview of Nokia platforms, programming with Symbian C++, and Java ME development).

 

About 60+ developers attended the first day, some of them experienced mobile developers and some of them thinking of moving to develop on mobile platforms. The format is somewhat different to the TechDay events I have attended/presented so far.

 

First of all, the presentations are simultaneously interpreted to Spanish, and I have to just admire the feat of these interpreters (being able to simultaneously listen to something in one language and speaking word by word in another language).

 

Secondly, there were almost no questions asked during the presentations. In a similar event in U.S. you need to reserve a good 5-10 minutes of your time to Q&A only. However, the day ended with a panel and a lot of good questions were asked at that point. The questions were both technical as well as business related. The ones I remember well were:

  • How to get one's application to the market locally (in Mexico)? (the situation is evolving, more and better channels are becoming available, operators are working on this)
  • Can one add Java APIs on a phone later? (No)
  • Which one has better Java functionality, S80 or S60 3rd Edition? (S60 has more APIs, but S80 2nd Edition has CDC/PP with some extension possibilities).
