The Mobile, Media, and eMbedded Developer Days is two weeks from now. Read the featured segment on the JavaFX Mobile sessions in the fifth of our weekly updates below.

You can hear more from Juraj Svec and Jan Sterba of the JavaFX Mobile development team about the JavaFX Mobile platform and development challenges they faced in the Mobile & Embedded weekly podcast below.

Finally, there are still a number of Poster Session slots available
for the conference. Poster sessions come from the academic world where they are used to promote research. For M3DD the primary purpose of a poster is the communication of information and ideas to the attendees by combining text and graphics to make a visually-pleasing presentation. This is a great one-on-one time with developers about your products or project. If your interested in having a poster sessions submit a proposal as outlined in the M3DD Call for Papers
(https://developerdays.dev.java.net/nonav/callforpapers.html) and
follow the guidelines in my blog (http://tinyurl.com/7zdkly) from last
year.

This is a repost of info from Fred Grott about how to use Javascript to read device functions such as GPS info out of your device. Good blog. /Thomas 
 
 
Hello everyone,

I should have some videocasts of demos showing the reading of GPS via javascript on the Android Platform up at my YouTube Channel shortly:

http://www.youtube.com/user/memine44

Yes, that is correct reading GPS from javaqscript as in fact you can
do that with any browser that supports css2/css/3, and javscript and
has a javascript bridge such as iPhone, Android, and Symbian S60.
Also LiMO is set to release in 2009 devices with the same functions.

The native libs I use to enable this is PhoneGap which I recently have
become a new member of and will be contributing code changes and the Symbian s60 port.

progress also detailed at my blog:

Still on a seed capital quest but I have a feeling once the reading
GPS from javascript videos are posted that issue may be solved.

I hope everyone is having a nice set of holidays.

Peace and happy hacking
