so i am just interested to know..could walkman player in SE phone being a java app?

Each non smart phone has java based operating system, not talking about just only it's application.

afaik, java (j2me) is not an os in itself, just a platform as jre is in pc...
these phones run symbian s40 os...

@aatuif, s40 is not symbian..
Its the proprietary Nokia OS used in the "non-smart" Nokia phones.. there was a series 30 as well not long ago..

Thanks for the info, whizzy...

are you saying SE phone is using Java as the basis for the phone's os?
this is interesting....good to put it in lay man term since I am actually lazy to
dig thru SE developer site

I think walkman is on the hardware and not the jave app

Imo, Walkman player is related with the firmware. As you can flash a k550 to w610 and get w2.0 on your same hardware.

or a k750 to w8, to get the

Even if it is related to Hardware...it still can be a java based software right?
Posted by aatuif
Imho, it's just branding not TOO much related to hardware...
and afaik, it's java based...

As some of the walkman player v2.0 user will notice...we cannot use the player to play video compare to v1.0
i wonder if someone can access down to the source and fix it
anyway...i get kinda offsetting this thread.
do anyone know any java app which SE phone can use to play back WMV file?
now some of the new phone like S500 and W580 already can play WMA....the problem is...I am not sure can we play WMV.

afaik, a java app can't play a format not inherent to the phone...

Actually potentially it could, as long as the phone's processor could keep up with the decoding.

Its probably a simple Java application like any other, but with its icon on the main menu rather than the application one.

I think the media player is integrated in the firmware and it is not a java application. It is known that
non-smart phones are based on java engine, but it doesn't mean that the applications that seem to be the phone firmware content are java applications. So this is why I think the walkman is not a java app:
Look at the W800 for example (or W810 as you wich). They are legendary walkman phones
. Both of them are java engine enabled phones and support running java applications and games. So everyone knows that phones can do multitasking with the internal apps (newer models can multitask java apps...) but in the case with the W810 you cannot run more than one java app at the same time. So, if the media player was java application, we wouldn't be able to run any java app or game installed in the applications/games folder while the walkman is playing. And when running the player, we don't suffer from any issues when running a java app at the same time. So it is not a java app IMO.
