Fast Java ME prototyping and usability study

One of the fun parts of working with Java technology is the ability to do fast things like prototyping a mobile UI using a regular Web browser (which has Java technology already available).

Just program up a mobile UI prototype and put it inside a cell phone skin and embed it in a blog post. Easy. (Well, OK, maybe not that easy, but easy enough that you get the idea). The power of Java technology is that it is ubiquitous. It's on your desktop/laptop PC (in all Web browsers) and in your cell phone (and on your Blu-ray disc player, PlayStation 3, TV set-top box, etc, etc, you get the picture).


So, if I want to show you something cool, I can run it on my mobile phone and show you in my Web blog post...

No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.4 support for APPLET!!
*NOTE: Internet Explorer users, if needed click on top bar that reads "This website wants to run the following...." then select "Run ActiveX control".


Cool, eh? I'll be posting other neat mobile UI prototypes for everyone's feedback. It's the advantage of iterative (rapid) development... Mobile Java style! :-)
