Screenshots
Introduction:
These screenshots are from the Nokia Java 9210 Emultaor. The device
and OS is presumably subject to change, and some of the programs
(notably the multimedia ones) are missing. Other manufcaturers may
have a different interface. However they should give you a very
good idea of what to expect.
First Impressions/ Notes
about:
My first impression of the emulator were good. Very good. It was
slow (my poor computer could barely cope). [TIP: wait for it to
start and use the debug version if you have it installed yourslef].
It did take some getting use to, noticebly the absence of the touchscreen
was confusing. However it is very easy to use (suprisingly so given
the absence of a touch screen).
There are common themes throughout the emulator which I comment
on in the screenshots. The toolbar has chnaged from ER5 to some
extent in that hard buttons are used which line up with the text
on the screen (right hand side). There is the 'doing toolbar'. On
the left there is a description toolbar which contains information
about the phone's signal, battery remianing, time, IR status and
application name.
There is a difference in the way application are laid out. However
this is the thing most likely to change with different implementations.
However to give you the idea applications are arranged into groups
vaguely reminiscent of Windows 3.1 and SIBO. For example 'Office'
contains Word, Sheet, Powerpoint Viewer and File Manager. Messaging,
and Contacts have their own buttons to start them and do not appear
in any group. Extras is own group (and has the mosy apps in it).
You should get an idea of this from the screenshots. The Open Files
Dialog has also moved (it is now on the Menu).
Nokia are clearly promoting their device as a mobile communicator
and play down to a certain extent sheet, word etc. Other manufaturers,
especially Psion may put a different spin on this.
