MIDP 2

[JScoobyCed]

Hi,

I have seen several Nokia mobile phones have MIDP 2 already. I am wondering
if you have already experimenting Java applications on those modele ? Just
experimenting, not developing (or if you have also developped then I will be
please to hear your comments).
How complicated is it to upload a JAR/JAR set (cable ? website ?)
The models I found about MIDP 2:
Nokia 6255, 6620, 5140, 6230, 6600, 7610, 7700
There are also Sony-Ericson P900/P908 and some Motorola.
I would be pleased to have comments on any MIDP experience.
Thank you.

modele ? Just experimenting, not developing (or if you have also
developped then I will be please to hear your comments).

I've been doing MIDP development for 5 years now. Real enterprise
applications, as well as games (currently, look for Rocky Boxing and Pink
Panther Freeze Tag from Anthem Entertainment <http://www.anthemgames.com>)
and am currently in the process of finishing up a product to start my own
company.

It's not. To deploy to a handset over-the-air, you just need to make sure
your web server returns the proper MIME types for both the JAR and the JAD
file. That information is documented in the J2ME FAQ:

I love MIDP development.

Thanks. I'd like to know if loading midlet can be done by serial cable or
infrared/BlueTooth. For development I wouldn't like to connect internet
every time.

It depends on the handset. For example, the Nokia and Siemens phones that
support Bluetooth allow for deployment using Bluetooth. The same for the
Motorola phones and USB/serial data cables.
