J2ME: Java 2 Mobile Edition in something a bit smaller than a nutshell: Episode 1

It can only be a matter of time before the majority of mobile phones are Java enabled. Here's a quick Spuggy Software guide on how to write a J2me application.

Why do I like J2me? Well it's fun and it's a challenge. You are constrained in memory, bandwidth and you have to worry how big your file sizes are. It takes me back to my Texas Instruments Ti994a with 16k of memory; when men were men and they stayed in their bedrooms and wrote computer programs. Above all, it is not big hairy arsed and lazy, like Visual-Doo-Dah for windows 6.9.

All that fun stuff aside, dontcha think that the handheld device is going to be THE standard user interface for the 21st century? Are we all going to sit infront of big computers forever?
