JINI is a connectivity technology that allows adhoc and flexible connection between clients and servers. The CDC supports a full Java TM Virtual Machine 1 and larger devices needed to run RMI and Jini. The CLDC is meant to provide a Java runtime on wireless, very constrained networked devices such as mobile phones. The goal is to make sure you can develop using your usual Java compilers, IDEs, etc. At JavaOne they mostly show games on the iMode phones.
Games are a large class of applications for users because they are so interactive and engaging.
Many other types of applications are planned from mapping, shopping, customized interfaces that require more interactivity than can be provided by WAP browsers, etc. In the MIDP RI there is a Ticket Information and Auction application. Well we've quickly come to the end of the hour. I'd like to thank all the participants in today's session, especially our guests Bill and Roger. We've received many questions, too many for two people to answer in an hour.
