iPhone Complains & Problems? No More Problem With iPhone-Singapore!

Singapore - With every new firmware updates for the iPhone coming out faster and faster, third party application programmers have to keep updating and patching their programs. Bugs and problems continue to plague the iPhone users with different firmware updates for unlocked iPhones and it sometimes give a bad impression to the high expectations of the iPhone. Worse is that users didn’t know that they do not have to put up with such iPhone bugs and problems. They are stuck with such iPhone bugs and problems because the iPhone sellers simply don’t care.

iPhone Updates To Increase Workplace Usability

iPhone users rejoice! Developers will soon have access to the iPhone SDK, the same tools Apple uses to develop new applications for the iPhone. Apple also introduced the iPhone Simulator, a kind of virtual iPhone that runs on a Mac to aid in developting new applications. The iPhone is also getting a face lift that should aid in its usability in the workplace. New features will include Microsoft Exchange support, "push-based" email, contact and calendar synchronization, additional support for VPN's, etc. These new features and the release of the iPhone SDK will undoubtedly make the iPhone a worthy competitor to the Blackberry in the workplace.

Sun Is Porting Java To the iPhone

krquet notes an InfoWorld article on Sun's plans for the iPhone. After studying Apple's newly released SDK docs for 24 hours, Sun decided it was feasible to develop a JVM, based on Java Micro Edition, for both the iPhone and the iTouch. An analyst is quoted: "I think going forward, with the SDK, it takes out of Apple's control which applications are 'right' for the iPhone." The article doesn't speculate on how Apple might to react to such a loss of control. "Apple had not shown interest in enabling Java to run on the iPhone, but Sun plans to step in and do the job itself... The free JVM would be made available via Apple's App Store marketplace for third-party applications."

Java Champion Adam Bien on the Latest Technologies

Java Champion Adam Bien has an extended history with both the Java SE and Java EE technologies, having worked with both since their inception with JDK 1.0 and Java Web Server, as Janice J. Heiss reports. At the outset of the interview, Bien identified three fallacies associated with the Java EE platform: the belief that J2EE is complex; the belief that Java EE 5 is easy; and the belief that distributed programming could be simpler. Instead, he maintains, the process of building J2EE applications is labor intensive and can be boring but not exactly complex. He offered code samples of the operations necessary to deploy the server-side component HelloBean. With Java EE 5 the process is somewhat simpler.
