Nokia launches Carbide.c++ development tools

The love child of Nokia’s cozying up to Eclipse and its purchase of Metrowerks’ Symbian tools and team has been born:

Nokia has introduced a new family of Symbian C++ development tools christened “Carbide.c++”.

It interesting to note that Carbide.c++ tools support not only Nokia’s Series 60 and Series 80, but also UIQ favored by Sony Ericsson in devices such as its new P990 smartphone. Time and hands-on experience with Carbide will tell how useful Nokia’s tools really are for targeting SE devices!

Details on each of the three members of the Carbide.c++ family (Express, Developer, and Professional) are available from Forum Nokia’s Carbide homepage. Specifics on the free Express product are available from the Carbide.c++ Express datasheet.
