As a java developer I really enjoyed your in-depth coverage of the new features vs. old features and the fact you showed actual code snippets. I've been working w/WTK since 1.0, and am glad to see Sun actively promoting what I feel is the 'real' future of Java. The major manufacuters are flooding the market with Java enabled phones; once broadband wireless takes off, more companies will start switching to Java (or adopt web services) for better integration of their existing systems... Speaking of web services, I think you should have covered that section with more detail; you barely mentioned RPC and then moved on... Coverage of Security, MMA, and WMA, was outstanding. Push Midlet was good, but Receive SMS messages (slide 55) I had to view twice. It wasn't overly complicated at all, but I wasn't understaning why in the send SMS example you used a telephone # and in Receive SMS you used a logical port... Also, there was no explanation on how the AM handled the receive routing. Aside from that minor complaint, I'd rate the presentation 9.4 / 10. Great job, and keep up the good work !

Try searching for "<a href="http://billday.com/index.php?s=J2ME">J2ME</a>", "<a href="http://billday.com/index.php?s=midp+2.0">MIDP 2.0</a>", "<a href="http://billday.com/index.php?s=handset">handset</a>", etc. Also, I've been working with the editor of Sun's Mobility site. Hopefully we will see a more frequently updated: http://jal.sun.com/webapps/device/device soon, including an updated (and longer) list of MIDP 2.0 capable devices: http://jal.sun.com/webapps/device/device?api=61 Hope this helps and thanks for visiting <a href="http://billday.com">BillDay.com</a>, -b- I don’t have a list of my own, but I do link to device lists and pages at:
