Nokia’s SNAP (Scalable Network Application Package) Mobile is an end-to-end turnkey solution that enables connected mobile game playing through a community services infrastructure. SNAP Mobile is the Java™ Platform, Micro Edition (Java™ ME) counterpart to Nokia N-Gage™ Arena technology. SNAP Mobile’s multiplayer game technology provides mobile devices access to Web Services, Instant Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS), and SNAP Game services. The SNAP Mobile Client SDK provides tools for creating connected mobile games for devices that comply with mobile information device profile (MIDP) 2.0 and connected limited device configuration (CLDC) 1.0.

The SNAP Mobile Client SDK includes the SNAP Mobile Client API libraries, the SNAP Mobile Emulation Environment application, an API-compatibility-test MIDlet, sample applications, and developer documentation.

SNAP Mobile games can be run against the PC-based SNAP Mobile Emulation Environment. The emulation environment simulates the behavior of the SNAP Mobile community services cluster and enables the development, debugging, and pre-compliance testing of games without the need for a connection to a live server.
