The Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) provides a robust, flexible environment for applications running on consumer devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and TV set-top boxes, as well as a broad range of embedded devices. Like its counterparts for the enterprise (J2EE), desktop (J2SE) and smart card (Java Card) environments, J2ME includes Java virtual machines and a set of standard Java APIs defined through the Java Community Process, by expert groups whose members include leading device manufacturers, software vendors, and service providers. J2ME delivers the power and benefits of Java technology to consumer and embedded devices. It includes flexible user interfaces, a robust security model, a broad range of built-in network protocols, and externsive support for networked and offline applications that can be downloaded dynamically. Applications based on J2ME specifications are written once for a wide range of devices, yet exploit each device's native capabilities. The J2ME platform is deployed on millions 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.
