M-Services; Opera Browser - Sony Ericsson P900 White Paper

Browser, M-Services and MeT

M-Services

M-Services is a set of feature guidelines published by the GSM Association with the support of leading
mobile network operators and handset manufacturers. These include easy start-up for the user, better user
experiences, easy download of contents, and simple charging models. Technically, the guidelines cover
existing standards including WAP, MMS, EMS, SIM-AT and SyncML. Requirements are also made in the
areas of UI, MIME descriptors, media formats and codecs.
For developers and operators, this means that a standardised yet rich set of services can be deployed
simply. Users will be able to enjoy a new world of consistently available and advanced mobile Internet
services such as:
•
Pictures
•
Backgrounds
•
Screensavers
•
Audio / Ring signals
•
Games
The P900's large colour touchscreen, dedicated browser access button and large amount of memory exceed
the requirements of M-Services. The UI meets many of the recommendations. Since the P900 has a proper
filing system for storage of media, download content is typically stored to file such that it is available to many
applications including the P900's personalization settings. The P900 supports both WAP Provisioning and
the established Ericsson/Nokia OTA provisioning standards – see Personalization and Customization
section for more details.

Opera Browser

The Opera browser is available on the CD for P900. The Opera browser is also available for downloading on
the web sites http://www.sonyericsson.com and http://www.opera.com . The Opera browser has been
designed to display practically all Web pages on the Internet. The browser supports the de facto HTML
standard "street HTML" (used by most Web developers), JavaScript, Frames, and the ability to add plug-in
applications This means the users can access their favourite Web pages. The Opera browser is firstly an
HTML browser. It also has support of full screen mode in the same way as the built-in browser.
Some key features:
•
Small Screen Rendering: the page is reformatted to fit inside the screen width and eliminate the need
for horizontal scrolling.
•
Tap and hold on a bookmark displays the page in a new window.
•
Tap and hold within a Frame gives the alternatives: "Maximize frame" or "Open frame in new window".
•
Tap and hold on a link gives the alternatives: "Open link" or "Open link in new window".
