Java Platform, Micro Edition, or Java ME, is a Java platform designed for mobile devices and embedded systems. Target devices range from industrial controls to mobile phones and set-top boxes. Java ME was formerly known as Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME).
Java ME is deployed on billions of devices, supported by leading tool vendors, and used worldwide.Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) provides a robust, flexible environment for applications running on mobile and other embedded devices—mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), TV set-top boxes, and printers. It includes flexible user interfaces, robust security, built-in network protocols, and support for networked and offline applications that can be downloaded dynamically.
Applications based on Java ME are portable across many devices, yet leverage each device’s native capabilities.
The mobile movement has only just begun. And Symbiotic Media is riding the crest of mobile application development in Africa.
The BlackBerry® development platform has been designed with two key components in mind: connectivity and security. These components are the keystones of the BlackBerry solution’s success and let you provide unique value to both corporate and consumer markets.
We leverage the standards-based BlackBerry® platform and developer tools to create applications that are just right for your organization.The tools we use include the BlackBerry® JDE Plug-in for Eclipse™, BlackBerry® Plug-in for Microsoft® Visual Studio®, BlackBerry Smartphone Simulators and BlackBerry® MDS Simulators and plug-ins.
Development approaches
The BlackBerry® platform supports several different ways of developing applications. Each methodology has unique strengths, but all of them will help us leverage the BlackBerry solution’s easy connectivity and robust security.

The Symbian platform is already a robust, cohesive, well proven high-performance software system, whose scope covers the complete needs of mobile developers – from the metal, via extensive middleware, to applications and User Interfaces. This stable base is an excellent starting point for further improvement and development of innovative solutions for Africa and the world.
Close to 300 million Symbian OS-based units have been shipped and Symbian holds more than a 50% market share globally.The Symbian Foundation maintains the code for the open source software platform based on Symbian OS and software assets contributed by Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and Sony Ericsson, including the S60 and MOAP(S) user interfaces.
Android is a complete, open mobile phone software stack from the Open Handset Alliance. Google’s Android platform is all set for an incredible growth in terms of number of users and will become the second most popular mobile operating system in three years down the line, if predictions made by an analyst firm come true.
Market research firm IDC predicted that the Google-owned Android platform will grow faster than all its rivals to reach the second spot by the year 2013, second only to Nokia’s Symbian.As of now, the mobile OS market is being dominated by Nokia-owned Symbian, followed by BlackBerry manufacturer Research In Motion, and Apple at the third spot.
By providing an open development platform, Android offers Symbiotic the ability to build extremely rich and innovative applications. We are free to take advantage of the device hardware, access location information, run background services, set alarms, add notifications to the status bar, and much, much more.
While availability of Android powered handsets in Africa is very low, Symbiotic can deliver solutions to any market.
