Sun and Openwave team up to simplify mobile device development

A strategic agreement between Sun Microsystems and Openwave Systems includes technology alignment initiatives designed to accelerate the delivery of end-to-end mobile Internet services solutions. The agreement is intended to help Sun and Openwave simplify the development and deployment of mobile Internet services. The two companies will jointly test and optimize interoperability among their infrastructure products.

Openwave will enhance its microbrowser with the ability to support Java technology-based applications. The company will become part of the Java Community Process (JCP) and will help create new Java classes designed to leverage emerging mobile network technologies. Openwave plans to develop an Openwave Software Developer Kit (SDK) as a resource for the Java and WAP developer communities. This SDK will be made available through a new one-stop wireless developer portal program, providing WAP and Java developers with access to tools and resources from both companies.
