Motorola just announces MOTOMAGX Mobile Linux Platform. It is not a breaking news, but I think Motorola reemphasizes its open source and mobile Linux strategy. There are 3 components in this platform:
(1) Java ME/MIDP 3.0
(2) WebUI - featuring web technology to enable widgets and Web 2.0 experiences
(3) Linux
RAZR2 V8 is also available now, as Motorola’s first Linux-based device in North America market.
I tried the MOTODEV Studio beta. It is based on Eclipse and EclipseME plugin. Motorola provides device emulator, integrated tools, device debugging and other features. It is a standalone installation. But as an Eclipse user, I would like Motorola provide this tool as Eclipse plugins, so I do not have to bother installing another Eclipse. Overall, it is a nice integrated tool for Java ME development.
