Series 40 is the world's most widely used mobile platform: With over 1.5 billion Series 40 phones shipped, it's estimated that 675 millions of these phones are in use every day. Series 40 phones range from entry-level products that provide many mobile consumers with their first experience of the internet to products that offer high performance, rich features, and engaging user experiences — such as the Series 40 touch phones.
You can harness Series 40's unmatched global reach and volume by creating Java ME apps or Series 40 web apps. Your Java ME apps can take advantage of the in-app purchasing and in-app advertising business models, to monetize your application after the download.
You can develop great location-based mobile applications by using the Maps API for Java™ ME. With this API you can easily integrate Nokia Maps and location-based services into your apps for a range of Series 40 phones. This webinar introduces the basic skills of displaying and interacting with a map, including zooming and panning. The session also describes how to add content, icons, and markers to take advantage of the API’s versatile event-handling system. In addition, it introduces the use of related geographic services, such as searching, routing, and sharing locations.
Series 40 web apps are easy to build, and they make great information and entertainment apps that use frequently updated content from the internet.

In this webinar, Michael Samarin from Futurice shows you how. Michael suggests that you first download and install Nokia Web Tools 1.5 to get the most out of the session.
