Direct technical comment from Nokia engineers about the latest app development issues
Hi All
If you are thinking about monetizing your Series 40 application but reluctant go through those numerous In-application Purchase API’s boring guides, take IAP application template and use it in your project with minimal adaptation.
Save your time, focus on your project and leave IAP routine for me!
That is the main goal of the IAP application template project. Please try it and let me know how I can improve it.

I was always wondering, if streaming a YouTube video would work on Nokia Devices with Java ME. I was pleased to find out that it did! And it did, very well, over a 3G connection on the stunning screen of Nokia PureView 808.
The idea is pretty simple. All you need is a Canvas with a YouTube logo, a Video Window for displaying the stream and playback controls for starting, stopping fast forwarding or rewinding the video. The cursor is draggable so that it offers the same user experience as the standard YouTube player.
This wiki article, explains how.
Hi All
30.07 I started porting FifteenPuzzle game project to Series 40 platform and today 10.08 that work is completed. Having promised to complete the project in 5 days I observe the golden rule of project management in action : multiply your project estimation three – two times before passing the estimations to your customer
But nevertheless… Meanwhile I have explored Scalable Graphics in Series 40 for possibility of applications localization and created a wiki article. FifteenPuzzle game project now contains SVG main menu and text in SVG document is translated to English , Finnish and Russian. The whole the application features list is the following:
1) main menu SVG
2) device language detecting and supporting automatically
3) SVG text localization
4) supports screen sizes:
240 x 400 Asha 31X
320 x 240 Asha 30X
240 x 320 Asha 20X
128 x 160 Asha 1XX
5) Disables SVG automatically on low-range devices (Asha 1XX)
Check it out
Cheers!

Hi
30.07 FifteenPuzzle game project porting to Series 40 platform started. I follow step-by-step tutorial Rapid game development for S40 with NetBeans Visual Designer and Game Builder just to check the article. If i find error in the article I update the article as well
I hope to complete FifteenPuzzle game project porting this week. 5 days for game development include resource creation — it is possible. I found Series 40 platform APIs are quite easy and logical. And that should be expected considering Java ME long history, strong community and technology leaders supporting.
Try yourself!
Cheers
