Java Perks Up Your Cell Phone
Java enabled cell phones have hit the market with a bang. And their capabilities will forever change the way you use that lifeline on your belt. Wireless enterprise and consumer applications, such as GPS enabled "find the nearest..." with turn by turn directions and downloadable maps; vehicle location; view live traffic webcams and weather maps; wireless expense/time sheet reporting and dispatch, can now be run on inexpensive Java enabled cell phones...no PDA required.
Java enabled cell phones allow users to run applications written with a mobile version of Sun Microsystems Java, known as J2ME -- Java 2 Micro Edition.
One wireless solutions provider in Atlanta, focused on innovative Java applications, is FutureRoads, Inc. FutureRoads has developed a blend" of Java applications any coffee shop would be proud to offer. They range from enterprise solutions, such as web-linked, expense, time sheet, dispatch applications as well as a GPS enabled vehicle location program, to consumer programs that deliver real-time weather, including weather radar maps. Even an application to view pictures -- like live traffic webcams, right on your cell phone.
The coolest application so far, a GPS enabled application that lets the user find the nearest selected business, get turn by turn directions and even view maps -- right on the cell phone! Finally, a high tech solution to that age old problem men have with stopping to ask for directions!
And you dont have to spend hundreds of dollars for a phone with these capabilities. Nextel sells their basic Java enabled phone, the Motorola i50sx, for under $100.
This combination of innovative, affordable applications that run on inexpensive cell phones may make us all Java addicts.
