2007 Java One

The JavaOne conference is a premier event for the global Java community - and an annual opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest innovations. It is a "must-see" event for developers who wanted to extend their skills and knowledge of mobile communications, enterprise developers and architects who want to extend their infrastructure to the mobile channel, and programming newcomers who want to enhance their core skills.

Sprint will be a Silver Level Sponsor in 2007, and will be located in the Mobility Village next to Nokia and Motorola!

Why Develop for Sprint
Date:  Tuesday, May 8
Time:  5:00 PM
Synopsis:  Scott Lane, Director of User Experience Design and Application Developer Program, will discuss Why Develop for Sprint.  Sprint is recognized as an industry wireless data leader with such innovative services as the award winning Sprint Music Store.  Through its developer program developer have access to a full suite of developer tools and resources to deploy the next great application and service optimized to run on Sprint handsets.

BOF 5914 - How to work with Java ME Carriers
Date:  Tuesday, May 8
Time:  9:00 - 9:50 PM
Synopsis:  The Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) ecosystem has many different components, with carriers each having different Java ME policies, varying Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)/JS implementations on handsets, and different development tools/resources. This session covers the various carriers that support Java ME (Sprint, Orange) and gives developers an overview of the Java ME platform and the handset Java ME platform, the Java ME security policy, developer tools/resources support, and the Java ME distribution policy. This is meant to be an interactive BOF session that allows developers to ask questions and provides feedback directly to people at the carriers that influence the Java ME ecosystem in the U.S.

TS-50695 - Advanced Mobile Services Architecture Based on JSR 232 OSGI
Date:  Wednesday, May 9
Time:  9:35 - 10:35 AM
Synopsis:  Mobile Java technology continues to evolve to provide continued growth in power and connectivity to the development environment that can take advantage of mobile devices.  Next generation mobile java platform, based on OSGi technology and standardized in the JavaServer Pages specification as JSR 232, provides an end-to-end story not only for developers of mobile applications on the Java platform but also for enterprise developers on the Java platform and framework suppliers using technologies such as Spring and IBM Expeditor. This platform is also being adopted by forward-looking network operators such as Sprint/Nextel for use in advanced 3G and 4G environments such as WiMAX. This session reviews the latest advances in the platform and its acceptance in the industry, including sections on IBM Expeditor and Sprint/Nextel. Nokia is very interested in the open-source community, and the presentation discusses the open-source implications of this platform. Web 2.0 is a big topic again this year, and this session explains how this new mobile Java platform enables mobile devices to become the remote control for Web 2.0. Social networking is also an important industry focus, so the session examines the server at the edge concept and how it will dramatically affect the way Java technology-based mobile solutions will change the way people perceive their mobile devices. The session also covers a review of the implementation architecture of the E90 S60-based and N800 Linux-based advanced Java platforms. This session is a must for anyone interested in the future of Java technology, not only from the mobile perspective but also as the next step in Java technology evolution for the entire Java community.

Overview of the Sprint Java Roadmap
Date:  Thursday, May 10
Time:  4:00 - 4:30 PM
Synopsis:  Jay Indurkar, ADP Technical Expert, will share Sprints vision for its mobile Java roadmap, including details on the Titan next generation mobile java platform that Sprint will be deploying in the later part of this year.  Sprint was the first US carrier to launch a mobile java handset and has continued to be the leader with its Powervision phones that supported such capabilities as: the first streaming live TV, first full track OTA download music service, first GPS navigation capable applications and first multi-tasking VM environments.  With the Titan platform, based on JSR 232, Sprint will continue to evolve the mobile java platform to leverage a SOA architecture that addresses some of the key issues that face the current MIDP/CLDC software environment such as: not fully mature development tools, java code written to run on a PC/server cant port to run on a mobile device, inability to utilize services/plug-in as needed and device fragmentation from multiple mobile java implementation across a variety of handsets.

TS-5913 Tools for Developing Advanced Mobile Mutli-media Applications
Date:  Friday, May 11
Time:  1:30 - 2:30 PM
Synopsis:  JSR 135, Mobile Media API, is a very powerful API that enables developers to create innovative applications, as demonstrated by some of the applications that run on Sprint devices (Sprint Music Store, the first music full-track wireless download service launched in the U.S.; Mobi TV, the first application that allowed developers to watch live streaming TV). JSR 135 is one of the APIs that elicit a lot of questions from developers; a Best Practices in Utilizing JSR 135 would help educate developers currently using Java ME and entice other developers to explore some of its capabilities.  At the end of the session, the attendees should have a good understanding of the capabilities of JSR 135, best practices/tips and tricks they can incorporate into their own application, and how to develop an application that utilizes JSR 135 and deploy it to run on a JSR 135-enabled handset.

Handsets and Services

• Upstage
• Sanyo 7050 (MVM)

Key Services / Platform

• Sprint Music Store learn more about Sprints award winning service that was the first OTA music download service in the US.  Customers have downloaded over 15(M) songs since the launch and with the recent change in pricing for full track pricing to $.99, Sprint continues to lead the wireless industry.
• Sprint Multi-Tasking Virtual Machine The Sanyo 7050 and Upstage handsets showcase the ability for multiple applications and services to be running at the same time.  Nextel Motorola devices were the first to showcase this capability and now Sprint CDMA handsets are carrying this capability forward.
• Enhanced LBS/GPS Capabilities Sprint is the leader with over 50% of the navigation/LBS wireless application market and is now starting to roll out enhanced LBS capabilities such as autonomous GPS on the Sanyo 7050 handset.

Key Platform / Development Tool Announcements

• Sprint WTK 3.2 / Mobility IDE 3.2 Java One attendees can see the early access versions of the Sprint WTK and Mobility IDE that showcase new features as: supporting multi-tasking VM in the emulator,
• Titan Next generation mobile java platform based on JSR 232.  With the Titan platform, based on JSR 232, Sprint will continue to evolve the mobile java platform to leverage a SOA architecture that addresses some of the key issues that face the current MIDP/CLDC software environment such as: not fully mature development tools, java code written to run on a PC/server cant port to run on a mobile device, inability to utilize services/plug-in as needed and device fragmentation from multiple mobile java implementation across a variety of handsets.
