A fifth of the world's population will soon have a mobile device and access to the Internet. With that many potential users, is an explosion of mobile applications inevitable? If so, what technologies will lead the way in their development?

Service orientation is going wireless; it's simply a matter of how much and how soon. XML-RPC and the kXML-RPC library certainly are in the mix for this inevitable convergence.

Got porting nightmares? If you're considering automating the porting your J2ME applications, you may want to think about using a preprocessor. Find out why it's the only technique open-ended enough to handle porting to multiple device models.

Just because Java Micro Edition lacks reflective capabilities doesn't mean Java Micro Edition developers miss out on the advantages of JUnit styled testing. JUnit-styled frameworks and tools can still improve ME application quality.

In this article you'll see how to make the three technologies work together by developing a simple and useful application that lets you update a multi-user blog and download the latest posts from it.

As devices grow more capable, so too must our development and emulation testing environments grow. Find out how this first of two anticipated beta releases of the newly renamed Wireless Toolkit from Sun addresses many J2ME developer needs as well as adding support for new APIs.

Building J2ME applications with a single code base that deploys to an ever-growing set of platforms is a tough and maybe impossible task. Find out how using Sun's NetBeans IDE with the NetBeans Mobility Pack can help.

This summer, the 1.0 release of a new plug-in, namely EclipseME, affords J2ME developers another free IDE option built on top of this very popular and powerful platform.

Are you working too hard to improve the footprint and performance of your J2ME application? Perhaps you have overlooked a readily available Java tool. Obfuscation may not only help you improve the size and performance of your application, it also gives you security over your intellectual property.

J2ME developers are accustomed to neglect, but the new NetBeans Mobility Pack 4.1 is among the best updates to the wireless development toolbox yet this decade.
