This will add new applications to the N800. This is a port of J2ME: Java 2 Micro Edition. It's not the standard edition of Java that runs on desktop PCs and the like.

I think it's interesting that Sun chose to implement J2ME instead of J2SE. It perhaps reveals what they think of the N800: a phone-like device with phone-like resources. J2ME applications are more display-restricted than J2SE devices, but tend to be more communications-aware. They are designed to run on resource-sparse platforms.

As an example, go to "http://j2me.ngphone.com/opensource/".

I wonder what Sun's other Java/N800 plans are?
