Nemo brings iPhone visuals to Java phones

Also featured are a runtime scripting language, compiler, and a software development environment. "You can use your existing editors if you want," such as NetBeans or Eclipse, said MacKinnon.

Cloud deployment services are highlighted as well. The Nemo runtime and applications are delivered over the air without the need for a PC.

A push and sync database is featured in the Nemo runtime for delivering data to Nemo-enabled phones in real time. Data updates are provided via Everypoint cloud servers on the Internet. An example of an application enabled by the database would be a stock-checking system in which only data that has changed is delivered.

Applications developed using Nemo sit on top of the Everypoint runtime, which links to the Everypoint cloud system. Applications are free to download and hosted by Everypoint.

Developers who want to distribute applications commercially enter into an agreement with Everypoint, which takes 10 cents per copy of each application sold or 10 percent of the sale price of the application, whichever figure is higher.
