How can we help you?
- Helping you choose a hardware platform. We work with a number of manufacturers, from chip and module makers to complete system integrators, so it's possible that we are already familiar with a design which has most or all of what you want.
- Helping you choose an embedded VM for your device. One answer may be Mika, but for example if you are happy to open-source your whole platform then Sun's open-source phoneME project could be a suitable basis. On the "proprietary" side, we are authorised resellers of Apogee's Aphelion product.
- Assistance with porting the VM to the target, and setting up an appropriate development environment.
- Support and training for OSGI, one of the most exciting Java technomogies for devices.
- Help in developing application- and platform-specific software, for example native-code interfaces to deviced drivers or non-Java resident applications.
