A Look at Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless

An anonymous reader writes "Qualcomm's BREW is proving an increasingly addictive end-to-end wireless development solution, although it does come with a hitch. In this month's Roaming charges, Larry Loeb chats with the folks at Qualcomm about the pros and cons of the company's security certification system, then taste tests BREW's highly caffeinated code for himself."

  1. is it time to wake up and smell the brew? by museumpeace · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I have plenty of out-of-date Java experience so I subscribed to Sony's developer news 2 minutes after I saw the Java logo pop up on my new Sony/Ericsson T610. The cost of the SDK with interface h/w for the Sony platform is a bit out of hobbiest range. and I hear bad things about bluetooth security holes. Is this my next chance to write the killer app? That Sony is now obsolete and never had CDMA anyway so now I got TWO reasons to buy a new cell phone. Anybody got a pretty printer..the sample code is wrapped ugly. and its C code! great! I have even more C experience and its even more out of date. OK, brew sdk is a free download,...this is gonna be fun. BTW, go read the article then follow link to an article on porting games from J2ME to Brew
