2006, the year of broad J2ME adoption
Some might argue that 2005 was, considering the explosion of J2ME-based games, but I believe 2006 will be the year when the industry realizes J2ME is also the preferred choice for productivity and communication applications.
The uses are vast:
* The client-side of branded services, like maps, encyclopedias, traffic info, email, chat, VoIP, etc
* The client-side of corporate services like time/travel/expense reporting, corporate info, corporate email etc
* Stand-alone applications like calculators, book readers, topic-specific database applications, etc
The sky's the limit, really.
J2ME - Pros and Cons provides more arguments for why J2ME will continue to dominate and grow. The drawbacks are less and less relevant in practice, as the industry has already made the choice.
All in all, it's more relevant to talk application platforms and applications than bearers, while the opposite is a fact in media. Without relevant applications there's no need for the faster communication.
