There's gold in them thar hills--Java ME tech gold that is!

ComputerWorld sees Adobe, AOL, Google, and Yahoo all going for the same thing--a dinner date with Microsoft to drive their stock price up? No silly! The killer app on smartphones.

Java ME Gold Rush on Cell Phones

Here's a quote: 

 All device APIs have the essentials 
 such as file systems, multithreading, 
 and access to the TCP/IP stack.  The 
 trouble is, each platform has a 
 proprietary approach to interacting 
 with users.  One can argue that Java 
 and Series 60 level the field...
Of course Java ME technology levels the playing field on smartphones. There are APIs to get at all the listed items in the above article: file systems (GCF), multithreading (java.lang.Thread), TCP/IP stack (more GCF). It's all there waiting for the gold miners to dig and use to find their killer app.
