Java™ ME Developer’s Library, a new aggregation site within the Forum Nokia community, is a complete resource package for developers. It includes introductory, getting started, tutorial, and API-level information for developers wishing to use the S60 or the Series 40 platforms for developing mobile Java applications or services. This library is available in three formats: HTML online, stand-alone, and Eclipse plug-in.

Good news for developers, who use to work with open-source IDEs NetBeans and Eclipse. The latest Nokia Series 40 and S60 SDKs now supports integrations with both of IDEs. Combined with Nokia PC Suite and a Series 40 or S60 SDK, NetBeans offers an easy route to mobilizing your Java skills.

Download NetBeans and the NetBeans Mobility Pack here (http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/java/netbeans.html?cp-1207A&entry=NetBeansArticle3CTA).

Just a small tip:
to listen to radio in your midlet , use following code example:

Player player = Manager.createPlayer(“capture://radio?f=100.1&st=stereo”);
// This will tune to 100.1 FM frequency in stereo mode

Developers can download the new Open C SDK Plug-in for S60 to add POSIX, OpenSSL, and other libraries to their S60 development environments. The SDK easily extends the Carbide.c++ IDE, and is compatible with other environments, as well. Open C for S60 on Symbian will make porting Linux and other open source projects to Nokia S60 devices easier than ever. Because Open C is based on popular open-source projects, it offers a fast, flexible, and familiar development environment that is easier to learn than native Symbian C++.

It looks like a new word in mobile phones customization. The screensaver generator by Red Dodo makes personalized screen savers for mobile phones. The animated gif is created on the fly and can be downloaded to the computer through the browser or directly to your mobile from their WAP page. As far as I know, not all the phones are capable to play screensavers and animated wallpapers.
My Sony Ericsson plays both of them :)
Generally it quite good idea, only, it would be good to see more templates.
