Nokia and Ikivo Bring Designers and Developers Together to Improve the Productivity and Creativity of Mobile Java Development
Nokia introduces complete development environment with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to reduce costs, time to market for graphic UI design in mobile application projects
JAVAONE 2008, San Francisco, CA, May 7, 2008 – Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and Ikivo, a leading supplier of rich media application enabling solutions based on open standards, today announced the joint creation of a complete tool chain that simplifies and allows efficient collaboration between graphic designers and software engineers in the development of Java applications for mobile devices.
The new tool set integrates Nokia’s Platform SDKs for Java, Adobe Illustrator, Ikivo Animator and Sun’s NetBeans to enable user interface designers to add their GUI designs directly to an application project and avoid the time-consuming process of “translating” those designs into Java code. Utilizing Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to capture visual designs for optimized integration into software development projects, the new solution dramatically improves the productivity of mobile Java development, and reinforces the attractiveness of Java as an environment for creating compelling mobile applications with rich graphics and interactivity. >> Read full release on PRNewswire
