leading J2ME technology company iaSolution is working with ARM on the deployment of the Swerve client, a fully compliant Java Mobile 3D Graphics (JSR 184) solution, in iaSolution's iaJet Java VM platform. The deployment will enable key handset OEMs in the APAC region, primarily China, Korea and Taiwan, to deliver compelling 3D Java gaming experiences to operators and end users.
As the first independent Java VM technology company to license the Swerve client, iaSolution will integrate the Swerve client into its industry-leading iaJet Java VM platform, enabling JSR 184 compliant 3D gaming capabilities in a broad range of Java technology-capable handsets.
With the expected launch of the first iaJet-3D handset in July 2004, worldwide mobile entertainment service providers and content developers will be able to enhance their business through the deployment of more exciting and vivid games featuring true 3D experiences to the large existing base of wireless Java game players.
The Swerve client is the world's first commercially available JSR-184/M3G compliant 3D graphics engine for wireless devices.
