New Java Wireless Toolkit demos from Sun
Sun has posted demos that highlight different aspects of Java Wireless Toolkit (WTK), the tool that's used by Java ME developers to emulate mobile phones on a PC. WTK is used even if you develop in e.g. NetBeans and Eclipse. You can also do with just WTK and a simple text editor, as WTK can also compile (etc) Java ME code, but the question is why, as all these tools are free. As usual you can find more info on my Java ME pages.
As CHAPI is demoed I guess we are talking WTK 2.3 here.
Sun Java Wireless Toolkit - MIDlet signing
A mysterious topic to beginners. Without it you face the "permission demon".
Sun Java Wireless Toolkit - Location Demo
Find out where the user is and use that information for localized maps, searches etc.
Sun Java Wireless Toolkit - CHAPI Demo
Content Handler API is aimed at extending the overall functionality of the phone with e.g. new media codecs, file handlers etc.
Other new demos, not WTK-related:
