Introduction:
Nokia
N-Gage™ is a mobile game deck with communication and entertainment
features.
Users may rely on its messaging capabilities every day, but it is the
game
and software capabilities that will really grab their attention. Nokia
N-Gage game deck is an outstanding game platform, with an ARM
processor,
expansive memory, color display, and unique keyboard. The MMC memory
card
support allows expanded software capabilities, and digital rights
management
helps protect content. The device also builds on the open Series 60
Platform,
and supports advanced mobile business and lifestyle applications.
As
a communication device, Nokia N-Gage game deck offers triband
(GSM/EGSM)
capabilities, SMS and MMS messaging, and full e-mail support (IMAP4,
POP3,
SMTP, and MIME2). Customers have access to rich mobile content with the
XHTML Mobile Profile & WAP 1.2.1 browser. For local connections,
Nokia
N-Gage game deck provides both Bluetooth and USB capabilities. Data
carrier
support is HSCSD and GPRS (2+2, 3+1, class B and C.)
Nokia
N-Gage game deck features advanced audio capabilities, including a
stereo
FM receiver, downloadable polyphonic (MIDI) ring tones, and a digital
music
player (MP3 and AAC) with 64 MB of storage (on an optional MMC).
Building
on an Open Platform:
Some
of Nokia N-Gage' game decks features will be familiar to developers
acquainted
with Series 60 Platform devices such as Nokia 3650 and Nokia 7650. The
screen is 176 x 208 pixels, with 12-bit color depth or 4096 colors.
Developers
can choose to work in Java™ MIDP or in C++ for the underlying Symbian
operating
system.
Developing
for a Rich Game Platform:
Nokia
N-Gage game deck is the first new mobile game deck in years, and the
first
thing many people will notice is the unique, ergonomic layout of the
keypad
controls, particularly the eight-way rocker key. Developers will
appreciate
that under that keypad lies a dual-processor design, with a DSP
handling
audio and telephony tasks and a 104 MHz ARM processor for handset
management
and application software. The new MMC memory and digital rights
management
capabilities add another layer of complexity. To help developers, Nokia
has a range of support options, depending on the nature of the
application.
Developers will want to explore such Forum Nokia resources as the
Series
60 Platform, Mobile Games, and Media and Music sections. The Tools and
Documents sections will also provide links for Nokia N-Gage game deck
and
Series 60 Platform resources.
