Sprint-Nextel Corp. plans to provide hands-on coding opportunities for developers on Android, Palm’s webOS, Java ME, RIM and Windows Mobile at its upcoming Open Developer Conference in Santa Clara, Calif., Oct. 26-28.
"Our objective with the 2009 Open Developer Conference is to create a forum for mobile app developers and those who develop apps for the desktop to get a taste of what's possible for them using the tools that Sprint's developer program provides," said Len Barlik, vice president of wireless and wireline services for Sprint. "With today's operating system platforms, powerful new devices – from handsets to embedded devices – and the strength of the Sprint Now Network and 4G, the opportunities are limitless."
The carrier plans to showcase each platform and the APIs it has built to open its network to applications on each, including those for location and presence.
