Hello, Currently I'm working on a digital city guide which provides walks and multimedia information about the city and its history. I'm using a PocketPC device and eSVG viewer. This viewer "has" support for SVG 1.1 Full. Though it has lots of problems and bugs. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to program for this device. I'm using the C++ version because that way I can handle events on svg objects. There is also a .Net Compact Framework available if you want to work with C#. But this version doesn't allow handling events. It's not supported yet. Moreover, The latest version dates from 25-08-2005 I think.
Bitflash also had an SDK for PDA. But this one is very low-level C++ and is very complicated to work with. Some people on this list have experience with that I believe. So for PDA's the choices are very limited and there are no prospects for the future. If there are, please tell me about it! :) For mobile phones or smartphones the future looks to be a lot more promising. A lot of devices are being chipped with SVG 1.1 or 1.2 Tiny support. Opera for example has a browser which also allows AJAX applications. Nokia provides several Java API's to work with SVG and mobile applications (JSR-226). Nokia is currently working on the next version of the Java SVG API (JSR-287). While JSR-226 provides Tiny 1.1 support, the new JSR-287 will provide Tiny 1.2 support. Another option would be Tinyline, an open-source java toolkit for Tiny SVG. You could use these Java solutions on PDA (PocketPC) as well, but you'd have to install a Java Runtime Environment. I've tried the one from IBM and that works ok. To conclude: support for mobile phones or smartphones will eventually be better than support for PDA. Probably because PDA's will dissapear and Smartphones will take over, because they will have the same functionality.
