Guest meaks Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 Would you lot been so annoyed about the certification process if the spv was java enabled?
Guest DJHope Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 Well yes because if the p800 has certification and that supports java, then i imagine it would make no difference. I cant see that theirs any reason why java apps couldnt be certifically crippled.
Guest spacemonkey Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 Having some other environment enabled on the phone would only be useful if that environment didn't require signing for apps that ran on it. A sane person would be tempted to allow this, they could let that other environment be local only (ie no access to the radio functions) and then anything you run in there is gonna be relatively safe. However in Smartphone 2002 itself it lets you seperate Radio using vs non-Radio apps on application signing and Orange has chosen to require signing for both. This suggests to me that Orange is not likely to allow a dodge around the issue by putting an environment of some kind on the phone. Add to that the fact that any semi interpretted environment (which Java is) adds some overhead to the performance of applications running in it and it just becomes less useful on a relatively low powered device such as the SPV. What we need is the ability for casual/freeware developers to put NATIVE smartphone 2002 apps onto their phones.
Guest DJHope Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 I agree with alll of that! Certifcation is here to stay ladieeeeees and gentlemen and i dont think it was just orange who wanted it, sounds like most mobile operators did otherwise why would they be so keen to put it on the p800? I wonder im not a developer for smartphone but surely urd need to complie a program differently to tell the operating system it isnt going to use radio or am i just dreaming!
