According to Siemens, key technical information, developer tools and business support are provided to promote the development of new services and applications for Siemens mobile devices. A Java competition has also been announced to encourage students to join the Developer Program.
Access to a wide range of information will be available to all on the developer portal.

Siemens is the latest mobile company to launch a developer program. The development of third-party applications for mobile phones is a fast-growing area, as new handsets boast ever increased computing power. Nokia provides resources for developers at its Nokia Forum, while Sony Ericsson already has its Developer Community. Indeed Nokia this week announced that it is to hold its first Nokia Mobile Developer Conference in Dublin. It will take place in the Guinness Storehouse on 2 December and the conference will be titled ‘Java and MMS – a Bridge to 3G’.
