New Developer World Wiki competition: Win a W910 Walkman phone

Sony Ericsson's Java™ Platform 8 (JP-8) supports Mobile Services Architecture (MSA), the next-generation Java umbrella standard (JSR 248) and this opens up a myriad of exiting possibilities for developers.

The article sharing the most helpful and innovative use of these JSRs contributed by a registered Developer World member will win a JP-8 phone, the new W910 Walkman®. All articles need to be published in the Java ME Wiki section by 23.59 Central European Time (CET) on October 20, 2007.

The new JSRs supported by JP-8 are:

JSR 211 Content Handler API
JSR 179 Location API
JSR 177 Security and Trust Services API
JSR 239 Java Binding for the OpenGL® ES API
