Anahata Technologies Software Makes Statement on The Usage of JavaFX on Mobile Applications and the Implications On The Java Platform In General

Anahata Technologies Pty Ltd

Perth, Western Australia (PRWEB) February 12, 2013

On 10th Feburary 2013, Pablo Rodriguez Pina, founder and co-director of the Perth (Australia) based software company Anahata Technologies Pty Ltd made a statement announcing Anahata’s position on JavaFX usage and how JavaFX running on mobile devices with iOS and Android Operating Systems would make the Java platform the most reusable technology for client to server deployments.

The director announced it would the company would invest in JavaFX training and highlighted the potential benefits JavaFX on mobile would bring to different parties in the software development industry.

Regarding the benefits for software vendors: “We are aware of the efforts Oracle, Oracle Partners and the Open Source community are making towards bringing JavaFX to mobile devices. If these efforts are successful, software vendors around the world would be able to use one single code base to deliver applications for mobile devices running iOS, Android or Windows RT, desktop computers and laptops.”

Regarding the commercial benefits of such an achievement, he stated “The same application could be offered on the Mac App Store, Android Play, Windows Store and could be downloaded from a web browser to run on any desktop or laptop computer running Microsoft Windows, Mac OS or increasingly popular desktop Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. This would allow software vendors to direct their efforts on user oriented aspects of the software development process such as application design and functionality rather than portability. Applications would be available to a larger customer based and it would be easy to maintain. In this scenario, code or libraries originally written for use within a particular mobile applications could then be reused on a server like it happens when developing applications for the Android platform.”

Regarding the benefits for developers, the director stated: “According to Oracle there are currently 9 million Java Developers around the globe, having JavaFX running on all mainstream mobile platforms would allow them to reuse their existing Java Language skills to develop mobile applications.”

Bugs in ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu

Ubuntu’s goal to run one OS across multiple devices is forward thinking – so much so that it seems other operating systems are now keen to get in on the act.

Ubuntu

A pre-release version of another flavour of Ubuntu has been released by the developers, and the first screenshots have begun to appear online. Ubuntu Mobile is more or less what it sounds like – Ubuntu customised for use on so-called “Ultra-mobile PCs”, UMPCs for slightly-shorter.

Surprisingly, this is actually a different thing to Ubuntu Netbook Pro, which was revealed earlier in the year. Netbook Pro is aimed at people will small computers like Eee PCs and the like, whereas Ubuntu Mobile is aimed at devices that lack keyboards and merely use touch screens – so the one person who actually bought a Samsung Q1 UMPC should be pretty pleased by this news.

Interface wise, everything has been made jumbo-sized to accommodate fat fingers – all of the buttons are a bit bigger, and all of the applications launch full-screen (not terribly dissimilar to Netbook Pro), optimised for a 1024×600 screen.

Not stopping there, Firefox has been replaced as the default browser by something called “Midbrowser”… as it’s designed for touch-screen devices, it’d be interesting to see if it will work in a similar way to the iPhone browser, with zooming in and out done with fingers, and that sort of thing. This is just idle speculation on my part though.

At the moment the on-screen keyboard is basically just a picture of a standard computer keyboard (though shaded in lovely Ubuntu brown) – it’ll be interesting to see if before final release they add in, or add the option of using the strange (though presumably faster) circular on screen keyboards that sit under your thumbs on either side of the screen on the UMPC version of Windows XP.

I think it looks pretty good though – I’d attempt to install it myself to give it a run through on my Eee PC (like the guys at Liliputing did), but I have a horrible habit of every time I fiddle with some settings in Ubuntu, I end up breaking it and having to reinstall the entire operating system.

It is what that runs on laptop & not like a handy phone..
