The aim of this book is to equip Java developers with all the knowledge they need to fully exploit the richness available to Java applications provided by Symbian OS. This book offers hands-on programming experience to get to grips with the practical aspects of application development on the latest generation of mobile phones. This book illustrates the capabilities of MIDP on Symbian OS by developing real sample applications which will be deployed onto real Symbian OS devices. It will concentrate on J2ME MIDP 1.0 and 2.0, as this platform has become the Java standard for phones.
