Mobile developer alliance discussion to continue
The possible formation of a mobile developer alliance, an idea discussed at a developer conference last week, remains a topic of interest but more investigation will be necessary, said a Sun Microsystems official spearheading the effort.
Attendees of last week's Java Mobile & Embedded Developer Days Conference at Sun headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif. were invited to stay around an extra day on Friday to ponder formation of such an alliance.
"As expected we did not come to any definitive conclusions or action items but we agreed there are a lot of opportunities we need to investigate and that the discussion will continue online in a yet-to-be-determined open forum," said Terrence Barr, Sun evangelist for the mobile and embedded community, in an email.
This alliance would deal with the multitude of issues facing developers and mobile content providers, such as having to accommodate different technology platforms, carriers and original equipment manufacturers.
