With an assortment of sleek new service mashups, Ericsson is bringing the worlds of mobility and social media closer.

At the 14th annual JavaOne conference in San Francisco, Ericsson will be demonstrating a series of new services, featuring familiar names in social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, but with a new mobile twist. At the booth, in the Moscone Center, Ericsson will show you as a developer  how you can simply enhance applications with telecom capabilities such as chat, presence, maps and messaging.

Ericsson will feature a number of demonstrations based on commercial products such as the service for automatically updating mobile chat conversations in Twitter. There will also be examples of SMS and maps in Facebook and MMS services for online photo communities such as Flickr.

Among these demonstrations will also be an online mapping and location-based service allowing bloggers and web-page authors to broadcast their whereabouts in real time.

Ericsson will also feature several demonstrations focusing on early beta testing of future services – with two demonstrations specifically highlighting the integration of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The first will show an integration of instant messaging, presence and file transfer on a Google Android handset, while the second demonstration shows the benefit of using the Representational State Transfer (REST) programming interface in a Zembly collaborative environment. In addition Ericsson will also demonstrate how easily you can integrate Push and maps functionality into your Java ME applications.

Finally, one of Ericsson’s partners, Venturus will demonstrate a home security application highlighting how users can share web camera feeds with other viewers at any time.
