Mythbusters: Java ME Myths Get Busted

It's mind-boggling that there are people who still believe the myths and falsehoods around Java ME technology.

Myth #1: There are no MIDlet stores.

Fact: Huh? What would you suppose getjar.com is then?
See: http://www.getjar.com


Myth #2: The wireless carriers and OEMs block developers from distributing Java ME apps

Fact: Huh? What would these instructions be for then?
See: GetJar.com instructions for distributing Java ME apps


Myth #3: Java ME tech is just good for games.

Fact: Huh? What are all these apps then?
See: http://www.getjar.com/software/universal/all/Search/j2me

There are human simulator apps, light apps, random quote apps, calculator apps, WiFi apps, traffic apps, bible apps... Bible apps??? OK, whatever floats your boat...


See:

Not just games, OK a few are games

So, whenever you hear the lies, falsehoods, and misstatements about Java ME, just point out that the truth is out there...
