AviatorCalc notes on various manufacturers mobile phones

It is impossible to give a cast iron guarantee that AviatorCalc will work on every model of every manufacturers mobile phone.  For this reason you should always download the FREE Crosswind Calculator via the above menu and try it out first before purchasing the full product. Below are notes made from our records of existing users.

Poorly A  so called J2ME MIDP RUNNER from Netmite is required to support Java ME application such as AviatorCalc on Android devices. We have been able to run AviatorCalc for the most part on both an Emulator and an Android phone but the results were a little  disappointing. For instance the characters displayed by the runner is are not very sharp. Also the holding pattern calculator does not display properly. All other programs however worked OK. These problems seem to be associated with the the Netmite MIDP runner as they don't show up on other devices. Unfortunately we are unable to contact Netmite for their help as their site seems to be permanently down.

If you are also interested in testing AviatorCalc on an Android device then please contact us via the feedback form.
 

Apple
No There is currently no support for Java applications on iPhone from Apple themselves. Sun Microsystems has developed a Java Virtual Machine for Apple's iPhone and released it in July 2008. This enables Java applications such as AviatorCalc to run on the iPhone. However there still seem to be legal issues which make commercial distribution difficult. The latest information on this can be found by clicking here. If you are interested in testing this please contact us via the feedback form.
 
Blackberry
Yes AviatorCalc is known to run on the Blackberry 8220 flip and others. This version now supports touch screen for models such as the Blackberry storm which do not have a telephone style keyboard or joystick/trackerball.
 
HTC
Yes Known problems running under some versions of Windows Mobile. Font too small on Windows Mobile 5.x. Other models of HTC phones appear to be OK.  AviatorCalc is known to run fine on a HTC touch diamond 2 running Windows mobile v6.1 and using the Esmertec Jbed Java run time engine. Download at least minimum version 20090506.2.1. (See help centre for more details). See Windows Mobile on this page.

Nokia
Yes No known problems running AviatorCalc. Uses the Symbian Operating system.  Seems to provide very good support for Java applications such as AviatorCalc. The N97 however is very sluggish but this appears to be a general problem Also not enough of the screen on the N97 is available for the application to run the the touch screen capability of the N97. It works fine using the mini-QWERTY keyboard setting in AviatorCalc.
 
Palm OS
Unknown but should work Palm OS can now run Java ME programs such as AviatorCalc using the WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment  from IBM. We have not been able to test this.

Download the environment from this link then download and install the FREE Crosswind Calculator and let us know how you get on via the feedback form.

Windows
mobile devices
Yes Microsoft support for Java applications has greatly improved of late.  AviatorCalc has been tested on an HTC touch phone running Windows Mobile 5.x however even the largest font was displayed very small.  However AviatorCalc is known to run fine on a HTC Touch Diamond 2 running Windows mobile v6.1 and using the Esmertec Jbed Java run time engine. Download at least minimum version 20090506.2.1. (See help centre for more details). AviatorCalc runs fine on an HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 but it is necessary to create a shortcut to the AviatorCalc application on the main menu (See the AviatorCalc manual for details).

Download the Crosswind Demonstration from the above menu and let us know how you got on via the feedback form.
