From the Press Release:
"Sprint plans to extend access to these Java APIs to the Instinct s30’s predecessor, Instinct, within the next few months through an over-the-air software update. The Java APIs will then be available on all future Java-enabled Sprint phones."

Also, a follow up to this inquiry also includes that the new Java API's being opened up also includes opening up the GPS to developers. No code signing and no PDE settings. So Instinct original users will not be left out in the cold.

I think of this as an answer to the iPhone 3.0 update to keep the Instinct and s30 competitive with the iPhone. Full Java compliancy and open API's, will make it easier for independent developers to get into the game.

So its a big deal for Instinct users and Instinct s30 customers.

Well, one more year of this and I'm done unless they came out of something much better to compete with i phone.]]>May 22nd 2009 3:34PM
