Nokia has introduced Carbide.c++ Developer Edition and Professional Edition, the latest additions to the Carbide.c++ family of mobile development tools. Carbide.c++ Developer Edition features a UI Designer that enables developers to quickly produce Symbian applications with dramatic and stylish user interfaces and On-Device Debugging to help developers speed the creation of quality mobile applications. Carbide.c++ Professional Edition builds on the features of Developer Edition by adding Performance Investigator, a tool that lets developers examine how a device’s CPU is being used while their application is running.

New in Sony Ericsson’s series of mobile development tutorials is the new “Getting Started with Macromedia™ Flash Lite™ 1.1 for mobile applications in Sony Ericsson phones” tutorial, authored by Chris Petty, Communications Director at BlueskyNorth Ltd, a Smashing Ideas company.
This tutorial introduces Flash Lite and walks developers through creating a small magazine application called “MyWorld” to show how web-style information can be viewed on a mobile phone without using the WAP style list of text and blue links. Chris Petty guides you through setting up this application in nine steps, including the code needed to complete each stage.

 Symbian OS has a set of collection and string classes that work well and are memory-efficient. But for developers coming from other C++ environments they’re not familiar. And it’s very tricky to insert them into code libraries and engines written using standard classes.

Penrillian have produced a solution: the uSTL C++ Standard Template Library for Symbian OS UIQ3. Unlike most STL implementations it generates only small code sizes, and it contains improvements to make it interwork with Descriptors and with Leave-based exceptions.
