Sony Ericsson introduces Java Platform 7 mobile phones

Sony Ericsson revealed the successful ingredients of its Java Platform 7, the market-leading and backwards compatible developer platform for creating compelling games and imaging applications for Sony Ericsson mobile phones.

Sony Ericsson's Java Platform 7 (JP-7) supports a range of Java Specification Requests (JSRs), including Advanced Multimedia Supplements (JSR 234) for enhanced camera and image handling. It is now possible to control the camera exposure (i.e. the amount of light on the image sensor), the focus, zoom functionality and the camera's flash from a Java ME-based application as well as rotating the camera image. The ability to record video and very precisely control frame-by-frame location, allowing the end-user to ?move around? in the video, is also offered by JP-7 based phones. All these capabilities can now be controlled from a Java ME-based application, opening up possibilities for new creative imaging applications from the global third party developer community, benefiting the consumer.

Through new generation hardware with faster CPU, better optimized software supporting floating-point operations and improved critical graphics primitives for 2D and 3D graphics, Sony Ericsson has also managed to take a huge leap in performance and speed, significantly improving game-playing experience and leaving current competition far behind. Developer feedback claims the six new Sony Ericsson phones ? the K610, K790, K800, W710, W850 and Z710 ? based on JP-7 have the best gaming performance on the market, a position the company will likely keep throughout 2006 and 2007 with its products.
