Sliders are another name for White Castle burgers. But, if you are from the West Coast, you probably don't know what Sliders are or what a White Castle is, unless you've seen the movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. "Did Doogie Houser just steal my car?"

Nokia has Java ME tech-enabled Sliders also.

Nokia's version of Sliders

Here's a quote:

 The phone has VGA quality video 
 recording feature and a unique 
 TV connect option.  The music 
 player and the FM radio come in 
 [quite] handy when you want 
 entertainment.  The games run 
 on J2ME which offers excellent 
 quality games.

If you want to authenticate a user on a mobile device, be it a Java ME cell phone or that other phone with an "I" in front of its name ( :-P ptooey! :-) ), you'll want the very best software. And, that means Verisign on Java ME technology.

See:

Be authentic w/Verisign and Java ME

Here's a quote:

 Aimed at developers of J2ME and 
 iPhone applications, the VIP 
 Mobile Developer Program builds 
 on the success of a similar 
 program launched at last year's 
 RSA Conference. By leveraging 
 the VIP Mobile SDK, developers 
 can create a pilot or 
 demonstration version to 
 transform mobile devices into 
 two-factor authentication 
 credentials...

And, I was there right from the start--well, almost. I started this blog on Java ME technology back in June aught four, just a few months after blogs.sun.com first launched.

Just like they sing in the Altered Images Happy Birthday song: If they were me, if they were me, and I was you, and I was you.

If they were me and I was you, would you've like to prat-dah-tee-dooooooo?

What they heck do they sing in that part???

Hey, if anyone wants to buy an analyst report from me, I can whip one up for less than what other companies charge... ;-)

Connecting with the Oracle via Java ME

Here's a quote:

  // Establish a JDBC connection to the 
  // Oracle database server via Java ME
  DriverManager.registerDriver(new 
    oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
  Connection conn = DriverManager.
    getConnection(
      "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:"
      +db,user,pwd);

The CNET News dude, Don Reisinger, decided to switch from the sucky non-Java iPhone 3G to the awesome Java ME tech-enabled BlackBerry Bold. So, what happens? He gets a whole bunch of iPhone fanboys coming out of the woodwork making defensive comments about his decision. Yo, yo... don't hate player, hate all the non-Java ME games! :-)

See:

Don't be hating Java ME enabled devices

Here's a quote:

 Some of my followers disagreed. 
 In a matter of seconds after 
 telling them that I was 
 switching to a Bold, I was 
 inundated with comments 
 discrediting the BlackBerry. 
 Some folks mentioned the issues 
 they have with it, while others 
 decided to be more biting.

Do you remember when the NFL allowed the use of Stick-Um so that wide receivers could catch passes by sticking one arm out and snagging the football like flypaper? Well, this has nothing to do with that, unless you were thinking about Stickam which is a Java ME company that allows you to stream video to the Web from your cell phone.

See:

Stream video with Stickam

Here's a quote:

 Online streaming video service 
 Stickam announced that its 
 offering is now available to 
 all Java-enabled phones. Users 
 will be able to stream video 
 over the Web from their mobile 
 phones with the help of the 
 company's app, Stickam Mobile.

Sprint is announcing their 2nd generation Instinct from Samsung coming out April 19. It's got bells, it's got whistles, it's got games like "Guitar Hero - World Tour" and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader". That's because it's got Java ME technology.

See:

The Right Instinct

Here's a quote:

 The Instinct s30 will run a 
 proprietary operating system 
 and supports third-party Java 
 applications. It will be more 
 "open" than its predecessor, 
 giving developers access to 
 core Java APIs...
