The new Motorola i876 includes a number of changes to the Java ME environment This includes the deprecation of some Motorola OEM APIs that were deprecated because there are suitable JSRs to replace them, or because their functionality was otherwise redundant or obsolete.

The deprecated APIs, and the APIs that should be used in their place on the i876 are the following:

The Java Mobile & Embedded Developer Days will be a worldwide meeting of brilliant Java ME minds, but we know many will not be able to make the trip to California. As a result, the whole conference will be broadcast, at no cost to you, using Ustream.TV.

The new SDK for the Motorola i876 includes the necessary tools to compile and test Java ME applications developed for Motorola i876 devices.

The i876 is the first device in a new device platform; the new SDK is essential to make the best use of the capabilities of the device.

The Java Mobile & Embedded Community is hosting the first ever Java Mobile & Embedded Developer Conference January 22-24, 2008 at the Sun Santa Clara Campus Auditorium.

There are a set of OEM and standard MIDP functions on Motorola's MIDP 2.0 phones that are covered under the Security Domains architecture defined by the MIDP 2.0 specification. The Security Domains system was defined in the specification to prevent the abuse of certain Java ME functions that have ligitimate uses but that may have privacy or cost implications for end users. The Security Domain Policies control under what circumstances a MIDlet may use those functions.

The Blackberry Java Development Environment (JDE) is a complete integrated development environment (IDE) that is extremely useful for the development of BlackBerry applications using Java ME. Aside from standard IDE features like code completion, syntax highlighting, etc, the JDE includes a series of tools that speed up the debugging and optimization:

• full Java SE-based development environment
• device emulators for on-workstation testing
• on-device and on-emulator debugging tools

This document describes the LIF/MLP protocol developed by the Open Mobile Alliance, a method for obtaining an iDEN device's GPS coordinates remotely without the need for having a client application installed on the device. This platform, enabled through Openwave Location Studio, allows for location requests through the network using GPS or using cell-site coordinates when GPS is unavailable.
