Here's a new way to manage your Java ME VM on your cell phone and boost your performance. (I didn't know my Java ME VM on my cell phone needed boosting, but if a marketing type tells me so, I guess it must be true...) :-)

See:

Boost your Java ME VM

Here's a quote:

 MemoryUp is a powerful Java virtual 
 machine (JVM) management and RAM 
 boosting tool specially designed 
 for high-end smartphones. What 
 MemoryUp exactly does is to take 
 control of JVM for each smartphone 
 system, smartly analyze running J2ME 
 programs (including hidden programs), 
 automatically allocate and recover 
 respective occupied RAM...

Ask your Java ME MSA JSR 248 related questions over at the Sun Developer Network during the week of Aug. 20 - 24, 2007. Try to stump the panel... which with me will probably be easy. ;-)

See:

Ask your MSA JSR 248 related questions

Here's a quote:

 Topic: Mobile Service Architecture (MSA), 
 JSR 248 - We'll collect the questions 
 periodically and send them to the 
 experts. We'll then post a selected set 
 of questions and answers. You'll be 
 able to find the link to the posted 
 questions and answers at 
 http://java.sun.com/developer/community/askxprt/. 
 Although the experts will 
 try to answer as many questions as 
 feasible, there is no guarantee that 
 all questions will be answered.

In an old episode of the Brady Bunch, Alice the maid is mistakenly thought by the family to be eloping with Sam the butcher. Instead, she attends a bowling tournament with Sam. "Bowling, eh Alice?" As long as it's in 3D with Java ME technology, it's all good.

Xing's new 3D Bowling w/Java ME

Here's a quote:

 Dutch Mobile Games publishers 
 are pleased to announce the 
 release of their latest J2ME 
 game "3D Bowling"... Cartoon 
 style characters battle it 
 out in non-violent bowling 
 action. Great fun for anyone...

If you go to phling.com you'll see they have a way to use a Java ME tech-enabled cell phone to browse and listen to your whole music library on your PC. You can also let 6 friends or strangers listen to your music. It's all legal... or so they say...

See:

Phling music to your phone w/Java ME

Here's a quote:

 An application sits on your 
 desktop computer and creates 
 a library of your MP3, AAC or 
 WMA collection.  A Java app 
 then sits on your mobile 
 phone (downloaded over the 
 air) and lets you browse and 
 stream your entire library 
 over GPRS or 3G.

Thanks to a blog reader (in the previous blog post comment) and also C. Enrique (back in June) posting about Webwag which has cooler looking Java ME widgets. They claim they are the "real widgets on your mobile"--as opposed to not the real widgets???

See:

Here's the real widget, the real slim widget

Here's a quote:

 Discover and install widgets you 
 are interested in directly from 
 your handset and start using 
 them immediately,

Plusmo uses Java ME technology to create Web 2.0 widgets for your Java ME tech-enabled cell phone. And you know what Web 2.0 widgets mean... Uh, me either. But, it's a buzzword, and Java ME is good for buzzwords! ;-)

See:

Don't fidget! Widget, with Java ME

Here's a quote:

 Run cool mobile widgets on 
 your phone using Plusmo for 
 FREE.  Mobile widgets are 
 tiny killer apps that offer 
 a much better experience 
 for a specific purpose.

Blackberry games have the "notzactlies". It's "notzactly" using Java and "notzactly" using Java ME technology, but hey, close enough!

See:

Blackberry not exactly like Java ME

Here's a quote:

 It uses components of Java and 
 J2ME, but it's a different 
 language that is proprietary 
 to RIM. Because of our 
 relationship with RIM we've 
 become experts in developing 
 and porting to it.
