phoneME Feature Software Overview

phoneME Feature software is an open source development effort addressing the market and technical requirements of “feature phone” devices. The majority (about 80%) of mobile phones in the world today are feature phones. Devices of this type typically include a high-resolution screen, multiple forms of messaging (SMS, MMS, IM, Email), basic 2D and 3D gaming, a camera, music player, Internet browser, etc.
 
Powering all this functionality is a core set of Java ME technologies known as CLDC (the Java VM) and MIDP (the mobile information device profile). CLDC and MIDP are the most widely adopted Java ME application platforms used in mobile phones today. Layered on this base is a set of additional Java ME technologies often called “optional packages” that come in the form of JSRs (Java Specification Requests).
 
The phoneME Feature software includes the latest milestone and in-development implementations of CLDC and MIDP as well as implementations for a number of optional package JSRs.   more...

phoneME Advanced Software Overview

phoneME Advanced software is a development effort to enable an open source implementation addressing the technical needs of devices in the advanced phone segment of the market. Advanced mobile handsets have established a firm and rapidly growing position in the mobile handset landscape. These devices often include powerful operating systems and hardware architectures that provide numerous opportunities for technical innovation and differentiation. To properly utilize these capabilities mobile handset OEMs are looking towards CDC. The CDC architecture is well suited to leverage key high-level OS features such as memory management, process structure, linking, multi-tasking, etc. In addition to providing enhanced compatibility to and from implementations of the Java Platform, the architecture is highly portable and reduces the integration effort associated with a variety of application environments and middleware components.   more...
