The company Sentilla reported on the establishment of the World’s Smallest Java-Based Computer – Sentilla Perk Kit. It constitutes a universal set for developers to create small applications with a wireless connection. At the physical size comparable to the development of coins, and its strengths, apart from miniature, low power consumption and a support network connection.
“Our platform helps Java developers create applications for billions of tiny computing devices that collectively boost the potential of computing,” said Bob Davis, CEO of Sentilla. “It provides the solid
foundation from which software developers can design smart devices that make the world the computer—from saving lives to saving the planet.”

Sentilla’s Perk Kit

Sentilla’s Perk Kit contains all the hardware and software required to develop very tiny devices using the Java Platform, Micro Edition (JavaME), a version of Java technology specifically designed for small
devices.

The JavaOne Perk Kit gives developers and system integrators a complete development environment with both hardware and software tools to create, test and deploy downloadable applications in a complete integrated solution for rapid prototyping, designing, change management and other capabilities into a single, seamless environment. Unlike complex embedded development and other small footprint form factor solutions that are often cobbled together, Sentilla uses Java to usher in a whole new level of functionality that increases efficiency of design and code, accelerates customer deployments, greatly reduces time to market and reduces cost-of-change for billions of computing devices being used to save lives, the environment and improve our lives.

Hardware included in the PERK kit includes Sentilla JCreate, a device for rapid prototyping of pervasive applications, and the Sentilla USB Gateway which is a USB dongle for Sentilla-powered devices. Software in
Perk includes Sentilla Work Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing Sentilla-powered pervasive applications and the Sentilla host server, a management server for
Sentilla-powered devices.
