Project Capuchin in three phones: new Sony Ericsson W705 Walkman™
On November 6, 2008, Sony Ericsson announced the new W705 Walkman™ phone – a compact slider-style phone designed to deliver an enhanced mobile entertainment experience. The W705 is the third phone to support Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin API and takes the number of phones supporting Sony Ericsson's Java™ Platform 8 (JP-8) and the Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) umbrella standard (JSR 248) to 21.
Mobile entertainment: W705 in more detail
The W705 Walkman phone offers best-in-class audio performance using the same superior sound quality as the award-winning W980 Walkman phone, TrackID™ music recognition service and PlayNow™ arena online mobile content store. Applications and games can make use of the in-built accelerometer supported by the Mobile Sensor API (JSR 256).
HSPDA network speeds and Wi-Fi™ enhance the online experience with blogging (both photo and video), consuming video clips (e.g. YouTube™) and sharing photos on social networking web sites.
The W705 also features a 320x240 pixel 262K TFT QVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera, 120MB internal memory, and a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) server to connect to compatible devices.
The W705 will be available during Q1 2009. The W705u is a Sony Ericsson Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) enabled version and is exclusively available through the operator Orange during Q1 2009.
Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) in 21 phone series
The announcement of the new W705 means that MSA full set can now be found in 21 Sony Ericsson phone series. All JP-8 phones are based on MIDP 2.1 and have the same core JSR set based on the Java umbrella standard MSA (JSR 248).

Sony Ericsson's Java Platform 8 (JP-8) phones are organized in three sub-categories – JP-8 (8.0-8.2), JP-8 (8.3) and JP-8 (8.4). There are currently 21 JP-8 phone series and JP-8.3 represents a sub-group of nine phones with some additional functionality supported by the Content Handler API (JSR 211) and Mobile Sensor API (JSR 256). The JP-8.3 phone models are the C702, C902, G502, T700, TM506, W760, W980, Z780 and Z770 – download Sony Ericsson's Java Platform and Screensize overview document here>>
JP-8.4 is differentiated by including the Project Capuchin API.
Project Capuchin in 3 phone series
Sony Ericsson now offers three phone models with Project Capuchin – increasing the addressable market for developers – and the new W705 joins the previously announced C905 Cyber-shot™ and G705 phones.
Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin SDK is a set of APIs, a packaging tool, documents and getting-started tutorials that enables developers to bridge the Java ME and Adobe® Flash Lite™ programming environments and is available for download from the dedicated Project Capuchin Docs & Tools web section.
Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin allows developers to combine the richness of both Java ME and Flash Lite by encapsulating Flash Lite content in Java ME applications making content created by Adobe Flash technology appear as Java ME applications.
The Project Capuchin API and the Swf2Jar tool make it possible to use Flash Lite as the presentation layer and Java ME as the application logic, meaning that Flash tools can be used for UI design while still having access to all the phone services available to Java ME.
