News update:
New mobile phones from Siemens
This month, Siemens mobile announced two new phones, the CX70
and the SK65. Here are the most important facts on both of them.
CX70 - the first "Push and Talk" capable mobile phone from
Siemens
With the introduction of the CX70, Siemens mobile is the
world's first manufacturer to offer an end-to-end solution for "Push and Talk"
(PaT) based on open specifications. The service features walkie-talkie
functionality over mobile networks and makes group calling easier and faster
than ever before. As the first Voice-over-IP application, Push and Talk is
based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the technology platform for many
future multimedia services.
To ensure that Push and Talk works as quickly as possible
across all networks and with as many devices from other phone manufacturers as
well, Siemens mobile is relying on IMS switching technology, which enables
IP-based connections between mobile phones and is based on the specifications
of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). IMS will be the control
layer for many innovative multimedia services, such as video transmission,
instant messaging and virtual reality applications like multiparty gaming.
Photos, graphics and more information on Push and Talk can be
found on Siemens' special internet pages:

Siemens SK65 - the first mobile phone with complete e-mail
management and a revolutionary design
A pioneer in the future of mobile phone communication, the
SK65 brings messaging and information to the business professional 's
fingertips with e-mail push based on BlackBerry Built-InT technology from
Research In Motion (RIM). The tri-band handset allows seamless wireless
communication with e-mail tools such as MS Outlook&trage; or Lotus NotesT
ensuring instant synchronization of e-mails and maximizing hours spent
traveling or between meetings for busy professionals.
The SK65's premium design provides the definitive solution
for combining technological advances with ease of use, through its unique and
innovative x2type (cross-to-type) full-sized keyboard. Opened with a turned
action, the full-sized 37-key keyboard is an essential part of the design
enabling quick and easy e-mail composition, yet folding away discreetly when
not in use.
The SK65 features 64MB memory for managing large amounts of
data, with up to 30MB free, for storing personal information such as e-mails,
ring tones and java applications. Additional features include: a large 132 x
176 pixel TFT screen with 64k colors, a fully featured address book with room
of up to 2000 entries and new Siemens Mobile Phone Manager PC software.
The phone will be available in Europe, Middle East and Latin
America from November 2004. Other regions will follow shortly afterwards.

Series 60 news
Symbian Signed
Symbian Signed is the mobile industry endorsed certification
program that promotes best practise in designing applications to run on Symbian
OS phones. Symbian Signed applications follow industry agreed quality
guidelines and support network operator requirements for applications and
content. The program was created to satisfy the mobile industry's demand for
reduced fragmentation and cost to developers by providing the community with a
single generic certification program that all parties can benefit from. Symbian
Signed provides a single signing scheme that can be used as an alternative to
many of the individual schemes, reducing the cost and complexity of getting
applications to market.
Advanced Partner Symbianware already received Symbian Signed
status for twelve applications.
Symbianware joined Symbian Signed certification program this
summer and already has twelve of their best-selling software products available
with Symbian Signed status.
The certified titles include Stacker, SmartCrypto,
SmartBirthday, PowerLock, PowerBall, PowerDictaphone, MultiClipboard,
MessageStorer, FileMan, eBook, Astronix und AppMan. Some of them are even
downloadable free of charge for SX1 users! Visit our download section at
www.siemens-mobile.com/sx1 for ringtones, logos & more.
More information about Symbianwares award-winning
applications can be found on their webseite at www.symbianware.com.
The certification was done with help from Siemens mobile
which sponsored part of Symbianwares portfolio certifications.

Next to our large variaty of successfull JavaT and Series 60
developement tools we are now offering a set of applications to aid providers
of a different kind of content. 65 Series Customization Tools package contains
the Colour Skin Editor and the Theme Editor. Both of these tools will help
interface designers develope top of the line themes for Siemens 65-series

Before you get started you should have a clear idea of what
your theme will look like. Have all your images, animations and sound ready,
they will be necessary for the creation of your colour skin and theme.
You should start off with the Skin Editor. This tool helps
you define the basic interface elements, like text and background colors and
backgfround images. Once you have your skin ready, move on to the Theme Editor.
This is the part where you create the actual theme. The Theme
Editor let's you configure wallpaper, startup-, shutdown- and screensaver
animations and tones. You then need to include your skin file and save your
theme.
The tool kit can be found in the resources section of our
developer portal.
