Logging industry is strong with Java ME tech
No need to protect spotted owls from Java ME technology. Even though logging is powerful with Java ME, it doesn't mean the cute and adorable little Strix occidentalis will have to go the way of the Dodo bird. See: Support powerful logging w/Java ME Here's a quote: Have you been in a situation like this? Have you ever wanted to log from your MIDlet? Read on, and I will teach how to add powerful logging to your MIDlets.Save the spotted owl and support powerful logging--with Java ME. :-) |

First prize goes to (drumroll please): Java ME technology, no duh
T-Mobile has announced this year's winners of the 2009 SME Innovation Award for Integrated Solutions. And, of course which platform came out on top? Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller? See: Java ME takes first place in T-Mobile contest Here's a quote: First prize in T-Mobile’s innovation competition goes to BodyTel Europe GmbH, Bad Wildungen. This company developed a comprehensive system for monitoring blood sugar and managing diabetes in real time. Key components of this system are the blood glucose meter GlucoTel with a Bluetooth module, cell phones with a connection to the mobile Internet and the Java application BodyTel Mobile, plus the BodyTel Center on the Internet.But, of course. First place goes to a Java ME technology-enabled app. It monitors your glucose level and sends the data to a server. Now that's something sweet. Literally and figuratively. |
Google Orkut: Multi-platform support including Java ME
Being multi-platform is a must for Mobile apps these days. And, it's interesting to note which platforms big companies like Google choose for the mobile versions of their apps like for Orkut Mobile. Hmmmm... iPhone: check, Nokia Series 60: check, Java ME: check-er-oonee... Uh, Android? Android? Hello? No, Android? I guess Java ME technology is more important than Android to Google. As should be! See: No Android for Google Orkut Mobile Here's a quote: The adoption of the cutting-edge Google Web Toolkit platform and the evolution of the interface come after a series of innovations and improvements on Orkut through the year which include features such as built-in simultaneous chat, photo tagging with automatic face detection, private sharing of photo albums, safety features, and Orkut for iPhone, S60 and J2ME-based mobile phones. Google sees this as the beginning of a new direction for Orkut...It's good to see a company like Google acknowledge that Java ME rules and Android... well, Android doesn't rule. |

Here's my mashup of the new iDon't Care TV commercial going around. Originally, the iPhone fanboys did one that was funny. I had to correct it a bit with my own modifications. :-) Heh-heh...

For those who like programming on the Mac: Java ME SDK 3.0
Some mobile developers like using a Windows PC to develop their apps. Some like using the (ahem) Mac. Since a Mac is not a real development computer, but still very popular with all those who are fashion-conscious (see, I'm just kidding and seeing if I can rile the Mac users out there) Sun has decided to release an early access version of the Java ME SDK 3.0 on Mac OS X. See: Develop Java Mobile apps on a Mac Here's a quote: Sun Microsystems has released an early access preview of the Java Micro Edition Software Development Kit (Java ME SDK) 3.0 for Mac OS X. This means that developers who work on a Mac will no longer be excluded from developing mobile Java applications.Great, now we have to explain mobile Java development to all those Mac users out there. OK, this is a cell phone. No, put that iPhoney thing down. Pick up a real cell phone with Java ME technology... :-) |
Wired Magazine's Mobile Device of the Year: Java ME enabled Kindle 2
In the latest Wired Magazine, Nov 2009 issue, pg 104, they have the Amazon Kindle 2 as the Mobile Device of the Year, in the Fall Gear section. See: Wired Magazine's Mobile Device of the Year Here's a quote: Only a true icon makes every other product in its category seem chintzy and dated, if not totally obsolete.As Spike Lee would say, "It's gotta be the Java ME!" |
Good review of Java ME CDC-based cell phone, who needs iPhone!
|
Here's a good review on YouTube of the Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850 cell phone from Sprint, which happens to have been a project I worked on here at Sun Microsystems, Inc., helping to put Java ME CDC technology on it. It's nice to see techies (like those at CNET) like the stuff you work on. :-)
See: New Java ME CDC-based Samsung Instinct HD Woo-hoo! HD format video recording on this puppy. Although all the iPhone fanboys would probably disagree, I think this is a good competitor to the iPhoney. At least, it's a lot of fun to play with and people are buying it... and, it has Java. :-P

The new Bolt Browser written in Java ME technology, now bursts out of beta. See: Bolt Browser a Blast of Bodaciousness Here's a quote: As before, Bolt streams video from sites like YouTube, which still eludes the otherwise excellent Opera Mini 5 (Beta).The Bolt Browser is supposedly much better than Opera Mini, with faster rendering and streaming video from YouTube. I'm waiting for the two to merge some day... |
Pay it forward with Java ME tech
Amazon announced they launched the new Amazon Mobile Payments Service which allows the Amazon processing tool to work inside today's Java ME tech-enabled cell phones. Cool! Feel like downloading that Amazon MP3 music file. It's just an Amazon 1-click away... See: Amazone Mobile Payment w/Java ME Here's a quote: One of the first companies to launch the Amazon MPS is Handmark, a mobile content store where customers can shop for games and applications across a number of platforms including Android, Blackberry, iPhone, Palm OS, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Java devices.Be careful, though... With just several accidental click, click, clicks with your cell phone hitting your keys in your pocket, you could have bought yourself five trillion MP3 files. Whups. |
