Nokia Java Runtime 2.0 for S60 Only Available for 5800 XpressMusic & N97

Nokia Beta Labs announced…

Introducing Nokia Java Runtime 2.0 for S60

My first thought while reading the subject line was: Sounds good! Then, I read that this runtime update provides:

- One-click application installation
- Improved application launch user experience
- Improved execution performance

So, my next thought was: Wow, this is great!

Then, I read it has only been tested with:

- Nokia 5800 XpressMusic software versions 20.x.xxx and 21.x.xxx
- Nokia N97 software versions 10.x.xxx and 11.x.xxx

Phooey was the thought that came after reading that. So, if you are fortunate enough to have the two latest and greatest Nokia phones with touchscreen goodness, head over to…
