According to Sony Ericsson, Project Capuchin enables developers to bring together the best attributes of both software stacks to create rich-media applications with the functionality, security and content distribution capabilities of Java as well as the user-interface efficiency of Flash. Sony Ericsson plans to release the Capuchin SDK in the second half of 2008.
