Java on small devices

Writing world-award J2ME applications by Eric Giguere (January 29, 2001)
Well-written applications are both internationalized and localized. An application is internationalized, if it can correctly handle different encodings of character data. An application is localized, if it formats and interprets data (dates, times, timezones, currencies, messages and so on) according to rules specific to the user's locale (country and language). An application that is both internationalized and localized, can be referred to as "world-aware."

KVM on the Palm Pilot by Robert Evans
This site is my effort to document the basic use of the KVM on the Palm Pilot. What is on this site is information I have gleaned from other sites, or come up with on my own. I am in no way an expert on the KVM. I know there are groups of people who are actively developing applications for the KVM and this site is not for them. Rather, this is site is for the beginner who is trying to figure out how to install the KVM and needs some beginning or basic programming examples. Consequently I welcome any and all suggestions (or corrections) regarding content on this page.

J2ME (formerly, KVM) Archive by Bill M. Day Jr.
Purpose: Archive information on apps written for the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition including related technologies such as the K Virtual Machine.

Program your Palm in Java, Part 1: The PalmOS Emulator by Bill Day (October 20, 1999)
The Palm platform is built on the proposition that a strong developer community and good tools enable the creation of interesting applications and a broad user base. This article, the first in a series on programming Palm devices, begins to show you how to leverage the strengths of the PalmOS and its development environment to build consumer-device applications in Java.

Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition
For consumer and embedded device manufacturers who build a diversity of information devices, service providers who wish to deliver content to their customers over those devices, and content creators who make the content compelling enough to draw in customers.

The Palm V meets J2ME by Chuck McManis (July 21, 1999)
As in years past, the recent JavaOne developer conference at San Francisco's Moscone Center provided an opportunity to learn about Java, meet fellow Java developers, and write a bit of code. It departed from previous shows, however, in one particular way: attendees could get their hands on the new Palm V organizer from 3Com for a mere fraction of the regular cost. Better yet, the Palm V made real one of the show announcements: Sun's new Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) was actually there on the Palm, in the form of the K virtual machine. In this article, the author of the popular "Ring fever" article from last year's JavaOne event brings the excitement over the Palm V conference presence to your computer screens. (2,000 words)

Palm OS Emulator (POSE)
The Palm OS® Emulator is software that emulates the hardware of the various models of Palm OS platform devices. It is extremely valuable for writing, testing and debugging applications. Create "virtual" handhelds by running the Emulator on Windows, Mac OS, or Unix computers.

Motorola and the K Virtual Machine
Motorola takes the K Virtual Machine to a new platform with its PageWriter pager in a proof-of-concept demo at the JavaOne SM developer conference.
