palmOne adds J2ME to Treo 600, TungstensBy Jørgen Sundgot, Tuesday 16 December 2003
Native support for J2ME finds its way to palmOne's extensive line-up of Tungsten handhelds and the Treo 600 wireless handheld.

palmOne yesterday announced the latest release of a developer toolkit that brings Java 2 Micro Edition support to the manufacturer's Treo 600 and Tungsten handhelds. A beta of the new version of IBM’s WebSphere Micro Environment Toolkit for Palm OS Developers, which includes a new runtime with support for the latest Java Community Process standards, was released to developers today through the palmOne PluggedIn developer web site.

The toolkit enables developers to deploy their Java MIDlet applications on palmOne devices, directly alongside native Palm OS applications. The early-access release allows software developers to design and test applications that utilize the new standards support and other capabilities in advance of the end-user runtime release next spring.

Specifically, the new release enables support for the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) 1.1/ Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 Java Specifications. According to palmOne, the performance of the new runtime is also significantly improved through native ARM optimization, beating many of the highest published scores on industry-standard benchmarks such as JBenchmark and MIDPMark.

WebSphere Micro Environment Toolkit for Palm OS Developers is a standalone developer toolkit for use with any J2ME-compatible development environment, such as Borland JBuilder, SunONE Studio and Simplicity for Mobile Devices. In addition, IBM's WebSphere Studio Device Developer (WSDD) is now optimized for creating palmOne product-based Java applications. The Eclipse-based WSDD can integrate with the other WebSphere Studio tools to provide an end-to-end Java development solution.

The MIDP 2.0 runtime for users is scheduled to be available for both the Treo 600 and the Tungsten handheld devices next spring. The runtime will cost $5.99 USD for Treo 600 users. Meanwhile, the existing MIDP 1.0 runtime is currently available for the Tungsten line.
