If you're coming to the JavaOne 2009 conference this year in San Francisco, you'll want to know where to go, what to do... with emphasis on Java ME technology that is. :-) So, why not check out Terrence Barr's list of things to see and do at JavaOne 2009?

 Now it's time to delve into

Here's a Washington Post piece (via TechCrunch) about how the Nokia Ovi App Store launch today was not just a disaster, but a complete disaster (their words).

See:

A Total Failure

Here's a quote:

 Today sees the worldwide roll-
 out of Nokia's Ovi Store, the 
 company's response to Apple's 
 App Store... Here's the thing: 
 the launch is an utter disaster 
 and I assume (hope) Nokia 
 executives are outraged with 
 the way things are going.

What would happen if someone opened up a store where you could buy Java? Wait... oh, yeah. That's what a cafe is, isn't it? No, not that kind of Java? Hey. There's an idea...

Here's a quote:

 There are a few factors that 
 could work in Sun's favor. The 
 company's JavaFX framework—
 which aims to bring richer 
 client application development 
 capabilities to Java—could make 
 it a bit more competitive. 
 During my own tests, I've found 
 that JavaFX is conducive to 
 rapid development... The 
 availability of a convenient 
 distribution channel might also 
 boost the attractiveness of Java 
 as a development platform...

Here's an article on the top 10 Java ME tech-enabled cell phones to use for mobile gambling. All of the top 10 are Java ME tech-enabled phones.

See:

Java ME for cell phone gambling

Here's a quote:

 Players wishing to jump on the 
 digital and handheld bandwagon 
 for mobile gaming need to make 
 sure that their mobile device 
 (cell phone, Blackberry, PDA or 
 smart-phone) must be Internet/
 Java ready and enabled on their 
 device.

 From there it's a matter of 
 checking to see if the casino 
 you want to play supports your 
 phone model.

How do you ensure that your Java ME game will sell really well? Just combine two popular terms together, like "Mermaids" (scantily clad female fish-like people) and "Millions" (as in millions of dollars you can win on a slot machine). Heck, why not add a third term (my idea), "Mermaids Millions... with ZOMBIES!!!" :-) Eh, not as good, huh?

See:

Mermaids Millions... with ZOMBIES!!!

Here's a quote:

 Mermaids Millions is the first 
 game from Spin3 to be made 
 available on a JAVA platform 
 and as a web-based application 
 at the time of launch.  This 
 move illustrates Spin3's 
 commitment to providing the 
 most advanced games to the 
 industry's newest devices, as 
 well as the traditional handset 
 market.

Why drive an old and busted Java ME MIDlet when you can program the new hotness instead. Old and busted, ...new hotness. Old and busted... new hotness.

Drive the new hotness, JavaFX Mobile

Here's a quote:

 Many developers who code for 
 the Java ME platform are eager 
 to enhance their MIDlets with 
 JavaFX technology to take 
 advantage of its modern 
 features and enrich the user 
 experience of their 
 applications. Moving your 
 MIDlet into JavaFX software 
 can enable you to create 
 richer and more interactive 
 user interfaces

Have you ever wanted to be a fireman? C'mon, you know every kid has fantasized about being the heroic fireman busting down doors, rescuing screaming people out of burning buildings. Well, here's your chance to do all that, without the burning buildings part of course. And, all in the safety of your own cell phone.

Go! Go! Rescue Squad Java ME game

Here's a quote:

 If you want to be a hero 
 in real life though, your 
 choices are more limited. 
 To hanging around disused 
 mine shafts waiting for 
 someone to fall in so you 
 can then rescue them, for 
 instance. Or waiting by 
 suicide hotspots hoping 
 you might be able to talk 
 someone out of jumping.

 Or, of course, you could 
 just get a job... as a 
 fireman - which is what 
 Go! Go! Rescue Squad is 
 all about.
