Description: J2ME MIDP 1.0 is widely regarded as an industry success story with over 75 million Java-enabled handsets currently deployed worldwide. As a direct result, we have seen operators increasing their data revenues and subscribers downloading a new generation of cool games onto their handsets. However, MIDP 1.0 is somewhat restricted in its functionality and the advent of MIDP 2.0 brings with it not only new features, but a new security model that will allow Java to reach its full potential in a carefully managed environment. As with all good technological evolutions, MIDP 2.0 opens up a host of new functionalities that will power the next generation of gaming, business and consumer applications.
