Sony Ericsson Nexus UX Platform WebSDK released for Android & Symbian Foundation development

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Nov 18th 2009 No Comments

We may be giving Sony Ericsson a darn good scolding on the one hand for their XPERIA X10 hijinks, but we’re a little more interested by their new WebSDK for Android and Symbian Foundation devices. The Sony Ericsson WebSDK promises a metaphorical hand-holding for developers hoping to have their wares nestle up against the company’s own apps, whether that be on the XPERIA X10 or the SE Satio. It’s called Nexus, seemingly the official title for the UX platform Sony Ericsson were talking about with regards the X10.

Intel Atom Processor Developer Program kicks off: netbook-centric SDK

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 23rd 2009 No Comments

Intel have kicked off their latest attempt to get developers coding especially for netbooks, in the shape of the Atom Processor Developer Program. Aimed at optimizing software to take advantage of the generally smaller screen size of netbooks – and likely their lower-powered hardware, too – Intel are pushing Microsoft’s Silverlight as a broadly-deployable underlying platform.

Nokia Ovi SDK plus Navigation and Maps APIs launched

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 3rd 2009 No Comments

Nokia have announced a new set of APIs for mapping and navigation, which developers can use to add location-based information – such as showing nearby search results – and display location-based data. The Ovi Navigation Player API and OVI Maps Player API are also joined by the new Ovi SDK, a platform which the company claims can be used by anyone with HTML, CSS and JavaScript coding skills.

Samsung Application Store Unveiled by Samsung Mobile

By Evan Selleck on Monday, Aug 31st 2009 No Comments

TouchWiz wasn't the greatest. TouchWiz 2.0 was a huge leap in the right direction. But there was always going to be something holding back Samsung from taking any steps forward in the mobile marketplace, and it had nothing to do with proprietary software on their phones. They lacked what everyone else and their second-cousin has: a way to get first- and third-party developed applications onto their phones. Well, it looks like that's about to change.

Samsung release TouchWiz SDK: widgets for all platforms

By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 17th 2009 No Comments

samsung omnia touchwiz We’ve never particularly hidden our apathy toward Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, nor our feeling that it’s not quite as usable in its standard form as rival systems from HTC and others. However all that could change now that Samsung have released the Mobile Widget SDK for TouchWiz, allowing developers to create their own desktop gadgets for not only the Windows Mobile version of the UI but the company’s own proprietary OS.

In doing so, in one fell sweep Samsung have enabled application compatibility across their range. That’s no small matter, given the number of devices Samsung release – not to mention the countries those handsets are launched in – with TouchWiz giving developers a single platform to code for rather than having to deal with Samsung’s various WinMo, S60 and proprietary OSes.

MiFi Developer Program launches: personal hotspot SDK released

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 27th 2009 No Comments

Back when we reviewed the MiFi 2352 in June, one of the aspects of the “intelligent personal hotspot” we were left most excited about was the prospect of an open API and the potential for web-connected applications to run on the 3G/WiFi device’s secondary app processor. Now Novatel Wireless have announced the launch of the MiFi developer program, and with it the release of the MiFi Web server Common Gateway Interface (CGI): everything web-savvy developers should need to start coding for the battery-powered router.

NVIDIA PhysX SDK is coming to the Wii, too

By Brenda Stokes on Thursday, Mar 19th 2009 No Comments

nintendo wiimote nunchuck So it feels like NVIDIA just got done announcing that their PhysX tech was going to be making an appearance on the PlayStation 3, but now there’s even more news to report. In fact, the PhysX SDK will actually be available for the Wii as well.

This is interesting, to say the least. Sure, the PS3 is considerably more powerful than the Wii, but Wii developers are crafty folks. Plus, the Wiimote has a lot of functionality built in, which leaves the door open for numerous opportunities when this latest SDK is added to the mix.

In the end we’ll just have to see where this goes and what sort of cool effects will come of it. The PhysX SDK includes an API and physics engine which is engineered to provide developers with greater control over interactions with the game environment and makes it possible to create scalable physics as you go. This is a perfect match for the Wii, and while the PS3 packs serious power, nothing comes close to the physics of the Wiimote. This might just take it to the next level.
