Big Blue makes Web services mobile - Sandeep Junnarkar, CNET News.com
IBM on Friday unveiled a set of programming tools specifically designed to bring Web services to mobile devices. The new Web Services Toolkit for Mobile Devices (WSTK) provides developers with tools and Java-based runtime software for building Web services applications that can be accessed on three mobile devices: Windows CE-based Pocket PCs, Palm devices and BlackBerry handhelds from Research In Motion. IBM, along with BEA Systems, Sun Microsystems, Oracle and other companies, believes in using Java to build Web services. That contrasts with Microsoft's own Windows-based .Net plan. Microsoft already offers some tools for building mobile Web services applications on Pocket PC and Windows CE-powered devices.
