Java Platform 7 (JP-7) strengthens camera and image handling, and boosts gaming
Sony Ericsson facilitates porting of applications to many different phone series by continuing its successful Java Platform strategy. Through this approach, several phone models use the same Java ME platform version where JSR implementation and runtime behavior are consistent. An overview of all Java Platforms can be downloaded here>>
Java Platform 7 (JP-7) helps developers create compelling games and imaging applications for 18 phone models that now includes the new K770. JP-7 supports a range of JSRs, including Advanced Media Supplements (JSR 234), delivers improved performance for 2D and 3D games and supports multiple, simultaneously running Java applications in a single virtual machine.
JP-7 phones also include a feature that enables a MIDlet as a standby application. Just as the end-user can assign pictures and themes as wallpaper, it is now also possible to select Java ME applications for this purpose. This standby MIDlet is handled by the application manager, and is started when the phone enters the standby mode. It is stopped when the end-user selects another wallpaper, theme or picture. More information, with example MIDlet code example here>>

The Java Platform strategy is supported by a consistent screen size approach, again helping developers to efficiently create applications for a range of phones at the same time. All mobile phones supported by Sony Ericsson Developer World are presented by screen size here>>
