Mobile hardware and software developers are out in force at this week's JavaOne conference here with several new enterprise applications and other tools to help spread Java on device platforms.

Motorola, Nextel and Creditel announced they are teaming up to create a Java-powered point-of-sale (POS) device for Motorola-Nextel handsets. Nextel demonstrated the solution, with Creditel's PowerSwipe add-on on the back of one of several available phones.

Designed for facilitating credit card transactions in remote areas, on the street or wherever a dial-up connection is not available, PowerSwipe takes credit card information and routes it through Nextel's network for verification. A separate unit can print out a receipt using infra-red from the Nextel phone.

For its part, Nokia demonstrated its new Series 60 phones and officials predicted 10 million units will ship by the end of this year. Officials here said they are seeing 10 million downloads per month of Mobile Java applications for their phones. Currently 1 million developers are writing applications for Nokia, said Lee Epting, director of Nokia's Developer Forum.

On the software side, Openwave Systems Inc. is one of the companies on hand helping developers bridge the gap between mobile devices and the enterprise. Openwave, the maker of browsers, messaging systems and user interfaces for mobile phones, announced the availability of a new software development kit and an alliance with Borland Software Corp. Openwave's Mobile SDK 1.5, now available, will also be bundled with Borland JBuilder, one of the leading Java integrated development environments.

Openwave officials said their company is well-positioned to put Java wherever it is needed. "We are the only company exclusively doing software end-to-end, we are not in the handset business," said Gina Centoni, vice president of developer marketing for the Redwood City, Calif., company. "We are after the real killer app—usability." <<

Eric, Thanks for the recap of the “analysts opinions” on NOK. I see Peter C Friedland is at both Wachovia and WR Hambrecht, perhaps soon Prudential as I understand they are merging with Wachovia (interesting that his target is the same at both places, I wonder how he got that right?).

I’d be interested in your thoughts on the long term growth potential of both NOK and QCOM.
