NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge and Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin technology

Sony Ericsson is a co-sponsor of the 2009 NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge, providing qualifying contestants with C905 and C702 phones and software tools to enable Java ME and Project Capuchin application creation.

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.


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.

In addition to being involved with the judging process, Sony Ericsson Developer World also supplies quick registration links for registered members to join the NAVTEQ Network for Developers (NN4D).
