Three things you should watch regarding Java ME technology...

There are three things you should be concerned about regarding Java ME technology on cell phones: Location, Location, Location...

See:

Location services ramping up

Here's a quote:

 Motorola is taking a slightly 
 different approach to the market. 
 It introduced a separate GPS 
 receiver, called the T815, that 
 when coupled with its new MotoNav 
 software turns a Bluetooth-enabled 
 smart phone or Java handset into 
 a navigation device. The receiver 
 is small enough to fit into a 
 pocket, or it can clip onto a 
 car's sun visor. The product will 
 come in two versions -- one for 
 smart phones and one for 
 mass-market Java-based phones.
That's a clever approach from Motorola where they use a near-by device (GPS device via Bluetooth) to do more with a Java ME technology-enabled cell phone. That's important since OEMs are reluctant to squeeze more electronics into mass-market phones since cost and power consumption is an issue. Hey, how about creating a Bluetooth connection from a Java ME cell phone to your blender? Remote controlled smoothies... Num, num.
