Bay Area Mobility Forum
I’ll be speaking at the Bay Area Mobility Forum’s first meeting on Saturday, August 21st.
I’m going to build on the technical foundation provided by my Nokia Developer Learning Series Advanced MIDP 2.0 webcast earlier in the week to deliver an updated version of my JavaOne BOF “J2ME at Five: Where We’ve Been, and Where We’ll Be at Ten”.
Abstract:
Java technology took the wireless world by storm when the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) was first introduced for mobile devices, starting with the KVM at the JavaOne conference in June 1999.
Much has happened in the last five years. More than 120 million MIDP 1.0 devices are in consumers hands and MIDP 2.0 devices are now shipping in volume. Many interesting wireless Java applications are in daily use. J2ME technology-based wireless games continue to draw eyeballs and twitching thumbs the world over.
This session examines the history and technical merits of J2ME technologies that have allowed it to succeed over the past five years. We should have plenty of time after the presentation for discussion and extended Q&A where we’ll examine what needs to happen (technology, business, and otherwise) for the J2ME platform to be even more successful in its next five years.
If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, why not attend both events, webcast and BAMF meeting?
