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

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.
