AJAX framework for mobile phones
Update 20061228: mojax is actually not AJAX-compliant, only AJAX-like. For more about that, see mojax is not AJAX.
Developed as a MIDlet, the mojax framework from mFoundry enables developers to use AJAX with phone-specific extensions as a frontend to services, without a need for a browser with AJAX support. If full JavaScript 1.5 and CSS are supported this is a reasonably complex piece of software.
It should be easier to develop service frontends this way than if using MIDP and J2ME Polish, but less powerful feature-wise.
mojax has access to phone features, like e.g. the camera, via the support provided via Java ME / MIDP.
