Scott Seighman from Sun Microsystems will speak on:

Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME)

J2ME technology specifically addresses the vast consumer space, which covers the range of extremely tiny commodities such as
smart cards or a pager all the way up to the set-top box, an appliance almost as powerful as a computer. Like the other editions, the
J2ME platform maintains the qualities that Java technology has become famous for:

  • built-in consistency across products in terms of running anywhere, any time, over any device
  • portability of the code
  • leveraging of the same Java programming language
  • safe network delivery
  • applications written with J2ME technology are upwardly scalable to work with the J2SE and J2EE platforms

With the delivery of the J2ME platform, Sun provides a complete, end-to-end solution for creating state-of-the-art networked
products and applications for the consumer and embedded market. J2ME technology enables device manufacturers, service
providers, and content creators to gain a competitive advantage and capitalize on new revenue streams by rapidly and cost-effectively
developing and deploying compelling new applications and services to their customers worldwide.
