Tuesday April 22, 2008 Java ME technology "hearts" Mobile Web Browsing
The people who tout Mobile Web browsing as the next big thing on mobile devices, forget that Java ME technology is versatile enough to run a feature-rich Web browser on top of the Java ME platform itself. Java ME looooves the Web browser. Here's a picture of the Thunderhawk Web browser, which comes in a Java ME variety. So, Java ME technology and the Mobile Web browser are not mutually exclusive. See: Mobile Web Browsing the next big thang Here's a quote: With good browsers and good Web access, it is now possible to deliver rich and effective Web applications to mobile users. And since all you need to do this is a Web site, there is no need to go through the carriers, as your customers will come directly to you. And as mobile browsers adopt more features of rich Internet applications, such as offline access, this will become an even more attractive option.Forgot to add that with offline access, Java ME technology is already covering that on cell phones. Yes, you can play Bejeweled disconnected from the network with Java ME. But, you can also run your company's expense report app, or a mobile database app that updates customer info, and then later resync when there is a network connection. Mobile Web browsers are the more limited and less secure platform when compared closely with Java ME. |
