Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Ovum Plc

Product Code: R464-492Description Java ME is by far the most widely deployed application platform on mobile phones today, but the environment has been far from consistent. This has resulted in complications for developers who have been forced to maintain multiple ports of applications for differing Java ME implementations across devices. As the capabilities of the Java ME platform are gradually extended through new Java Specification Requests (JSRs), can this situation improve or will fragmentation persist? This report looks at four major areas of potential conflict in Java ME today: platform definitions, user interface, device management, and data and file management.Table of Contents - Key messages
