Nokia and Sony Ericsson have agreed to align their development platforms. The press relase states 'From Q2 2003, developers will benefit from being able to use a single tool set to target both Series 60 and UIQ devices'. Mind you they don't specify how they are going to do this as Series 60 currently uses C++ and UIQ, Metroworks.I think this shows great collaboration between two rival hardware makers and should make life a lot easier for software developers. It also raises the question could Nokia produce UIQ devices and Sony Ericsson Series 60? Full details can be read here.
