Java™ Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) provides a robust, flexible environment for applications running on a broad range of other embedded devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, TV set-top boxes, and printers. The Java ME platform includes flexible user interfaces, a robust security model, a broad range of built-in network protocols, and extensive support for networked and offline applications that can be downloaded dynamically. Applications based on Java ME software are portable across a wide range of devices, yet leveraging each device's native capabilities.

Sun Microsystems has open sourced Java ME Technology. Developers can access the source code and get support at the Mobile & Embedded Community . Additionally, the Sun Developer Network provides many resources for Sun's commercial Java ME products.

Did You Know

The Java ME platform is deployed on billions of devices, supported by leading tool vendors, and used by companies worldwide. In short, it is the platform of choice for today's consumer and embedded devices.

Mobile & Embedded Developer Days Wrap-Up

Wow, what a week it has been! The Java Mobile & Embedded Developer Days conference ended last Thursday and I think it is fair to say it was a resounding success.

Many attendees gave us very positive feedback both personally and in email and blogs. They commented on the varied and high-quality content, the breadth and depth of the audience, the connections they made, and the community spirit of the conference. It's very satisfying to hear people enjoyed this conference as much as they did and certainly the flawless organization behind the scenes and all the help from the community was essential in pulling this off. Hats off to all involved!

Thanks again to our sponsors:

Conference wrap-up, in bullets:

• Pictures (taken by Dan Indrigo)
• PDF slides(except James Goslings keynote)
• Videos (We have already posted some videos selected on ustream. All videos will be made available online at no cost over the next couple of weeks- we need time for processing and editing-. The final location of the videos will be posted here and on the Mobile & Embedded Community home page.
• Remote participation: After some initial bandwidth issues on our end it seemed to have worked very well, we peaked at just over 200 remote participants and there was excellent interaction between remote and local worlds via the chat facility.
• Conference evaluation form (be sure to fill it in if you attended.)
• Evaluation results (including session ratings)
