Psst... Hey, kid! C'm here... You want a Java ME cell phone?

As the mobile industry gets tighter and tighter with market saturation, cell phone companies are now targeting the only demographic still not carrying Java ME technology-enabled mobile devices. No, not the dead (it only seems like dead people are the only ones without cell phones glued to their ears). It's kids 12 and under, silly! ;-)

Tweens targeted for Java ME

Here's a quote:

 "Tweens want a phone that looks 
 like the one their older brother 
 or sister uses," says Julie Ask, 
 a senior analyst with Jupiter 
 Research. "They think they're 
 more sophisticated than a 
 five-button phone."
Oh, so tweens want Java ME cell phones to look cool. Well, then they might want to try a Disney Mobile's Steamboat Willie DM-L210, Java ME enabled MVNO cell phone. Steamboat Willie? Hmmm... Not as cool as Black Eyed Peas, but more appropriate. M-O-U-S-EEEEE.
