Techtree News Staff, Sep 18, 2009 1223 hrs ISTPromises one-click application installation
Nokia has quietly rolled out a major Java update for its S60 Version 5 devices that promises to fix several bugs with the Java implementation on devices using this OS.
Nokia Java Runtime 2.0 for S60 (JRT 2.0), according to Nokia, is a totally re-written Java mobile execution environment for Nokia S60 devices. The update promises the following features:
One-click application installation
Improved application launch user experience
Improved execution performance (Will this mean Opera Mini will perform better?)
Apart from all these, several "under the hood" changes too find their way in. Nokia has also announced that starting now; Java Runtime will be developed and released independent from S60 releases. What this means is that you will get automatic Java updates to your device which can be performed using the Nokia Software Updater software you currently use for updating the firmware.
The new version has been tested with the following devices:
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic software versions 20.x.xxx and 21.x.xxx
Nokia N97 software versions 10.x.xxx and 11.x.xxx
