Wanna use Bluetooth with JME ? Try Marge !!

Hi all!!

Have you ever wanted to (or had to) develop a JME application with connectivity by Bluetooth but gave up ? Have you already thought: I'll create something to get it easier ?
So, two guys from Florianópolis thought the same and created a framework that can help you on creating applications with Bluetooth: The Project Marge (visit the project´s home page at: https://marge.dev.java.net/).

They are at the beginning, but with the available release you can create games and whatever you want. They said that the major goal of the project is create something easy to use and using the framework you would create bluetooth applications with a minimum knowledge on bluetooth theory, just with some gets and sets! ;-) .

I'll be involved at the project helping them creating a game support for the framework and providing all support at JME Brasil. They going to put all documentation at JME Brasil and providing some examples and articles about the framework.

I think it´s a great project and I'm sure you won´t waste your time visiting their home page!!

Sun Tech Days @ São Paulo

Hi all!

Well, don´t be afraid... you are really at "Neto Marin" blog´s !!!
From now on i´ll ever write my posts in English to reach more users, but if you didn´t like it please let me know sending me an e-mail and I will send to you the translation of this post. It´s in my TO DO list create a portuguese version of this Blog ;-)

So, let´s talk about Sun Tech Days 2007 @ São Paulo (March 18-20) =D
It was a fantastic moment to get contact with many different kind of people and exchange a lot of experience and impressions about JME, major at the JME Day!

Yes! We had a day to discuss this great technology (in my opinion hehe) and to close with a "gold key" the participates of STD could discuss at the JME Fishbowl!!! A lot of (very) interesting themes was discussed and I had the great opportunity to talk about JME Brasil!!!

And because this, I did fantastics contacts like with Phil and Roger from Sun Microsystems about the Mobile and Embedded Community!!!

Also, I talked a lot with Bruno and Lucas about Marge Project (a bluetooth jme framework) and the decided to put all the project documentation at JME Brasil and I´ll collaborate with game extension to Marge Framework :-)


Well, I have a lot of news, but now I wanna sleep... after this three days driving everyday Campinas/São Paulo/Campinas I´m broken!!!

On next days I'll post my impressions (and opinions) about the themes explored at Sun Tech Days of this year!!

Thanks all!

Aqui jaz o Palm (e similares)! Vá em paz...

Bom dia a todos,

Começando a semana estava dando uma lida nas notícias do G1 (site de noticias da Globo) Quando me deparei com a matéria: Celular "faz tudo" decreta morte do Palm - que pode ser acessada em: http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Tecnologia/0,,MUL18201-6174,00.html

Isso na verdade é algo que eu (por exemplo) já vinha conversando com algumas pessoas e a grande maioria era unânime em dizer que também achavam isso, mas que não tão rápido. Porém, nos últimos meses vimos uma INVASÃO dos famigerados "Smartphones" com seus teclados QWERTY e recursos que antes só encontravamos em palms (e claro em seus similares como Pocket PC entre outros). E como está escrito na própria matéria do G1 a venda desses dispositivos vêm mês a mês batendo recordes.

Outro fator que vem impulsionando isso é o incentivo que as próprias operadoras estão dando para esses tipos de aparelhos principalmente no mundo corporativo. Na Claro pode-se obter diversos tipos de Smartphones (Treo, Qtek, Nokia, etc) por preços melhores do que os handhelds disponiveis no mercado com recursos similares, e é claro, os Smartphones ainda fazem ligação ;-)

E aquela velha pergunta: E eu com isso? Os palms (e similares) já rodavam Java, o que eu ganho com os Smartphones?
O que ganhamos são devices com recursos ainda melhores e que estão ligados a uma rede, seja GPRS, EDGE, 3G... Sendo que antes, nem sempre os handhelds tinham alguma rede ao seu alcançe.

Pense nisso, você pode criar aplicativos incriveis para esses devices e conquistar um ótimo mercado!!!

Por isso: Don´t think BIG, think MICRO!! JME!!
