    This will be implemented in [[w:Java|Java]], since it seems to be gaining a strong hold on applications for handheld devices. Also could be ported into [[w:Objective C|Objective C]] for [[w:Symbian|Symbian]] based platforms
    ===Platforms and Languages:===
     
    This will be implemented as a C++ program for [[Symbian OS]] or [[Pocket PC]] devices and [[Midlet]] ([[Java MIDP]]) for broadest possible support of [[terminal]]s
