Nokia and SEMC to align development platforms.

Published by at

Nokia and Sony Ericsson have agreed to align their development platforms. The press relase states 'From Q2 2003, developers will benefit from being able to use a single tool set to target both Series 60 and UIQ devices'. Mind you they don't specify how they are going to do this as Series 60 currently uses C++ and UIQ, Metroworks.I think this shows great collaboration between two rival hardware makers and should make life a lot easier for software developers. It also raises the question could Nokia produce UIQ devices and Sony Ericsson Series 60? Full details can be read here.
