Java ME is like the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in that Java ME is built following a standard set of Java platform guidelines, and is developed with the help of leading mobile manufacturers and wireless service providers. Java ME is the kind of platform that delivers new application power and cutting edge wireless connection benefits to your cellular phone or PDA when you need it. Java ME is now inside millions of devices, and is today's platform of choice for developing consumer tools and features found on cell phones and PDAs everywhere.
