Java phone games?

[gerrymcc]

I think I heard somewhere that Java is being used to write games that
can be played on mobile phones. What APIs are needed for this? Do all
phones now have a JRE installed?

Thnaks for any info,
Gerard

The JRE for mobile devices is different, though the language is the same.
Not all telephones have a JRE, but many, as well as many devices, have.
