Monday January 31, 2005 You're Smart if You use SmartPhones Using J2ME Technology
Here is an eWeek article about the current batch of SmartPhones which can be deployed in the enterprise using J2ME technology. See: Good summary, but their productivity apps summary on page 3 seem to only cover the minimal: e-mail, Web/WAP browsing, and document viewing. That's not right. The power of the SmartPhone with J2ME Technology is the ability to write customized J2ME apps that access your corporate data like sales info, contact lists, inventory, price lists, etc., etc., etc. J2ME apps that interact with your corporate data in a secure and wireless way are the key to success of J2ME SmartPhones, not reading your e-mail or looking at squished Web pages on a tiny screen. If you can (in real-time) tell the customer standing in front of you that you can give him a 20% discount on 1,000 widgets and get them to him by tomorrow morning, that's where the strength of J2ME SmartPhones is--not that you got this cool e-mail from your co-worker that talks about the latest J. Lo music video. E-mail and the Web are so last millenia. :-)
