In the run-up to Motorola's MOTODEV Summit events in London and Beijing, we invited the leaders of our most popular Summit talks and panels to sit down and discuss the ideas behind their sessions: why are they important? What will attendees learn? And how will these topics impact your development now and in the future? If you are unable to attend a Summit in person, or if you want to hit the ground running when you get there, check out these Q & A features from some of Motorola's top thought-leaders...
Rafael Camargo - "MOTOMAGX: Motorola's Next-Generation Mobile Linux Platform"
Mike Lin - "Truly Mobile Java ME Applications: Location, Media Capture and Connectivity"
Scott Lyons - "Mobile Music - Learning How to Play Before You Can Fast Forward"
Guy Martin - "Open Source, Motorola, and You"
Simon Walker - "The Evolution of Java ME across Motorola Products"
You'll find these and more Q & A spotlights at the MOTODEV Summit web site.
Based on the highly popular Eclipse™ open framework, MOTODEV Studio is an integrated development environment offering a fast and easy way to create applications that take advantage of the latest functionality in a wide array of Motorola's products. The first release, MOTODEV Studio for Java™ ME, provides a powerful set of tools to streamline Java ME development for Motorola's hottest 3GSM handsets. But that's just the beginning. The extensible, modular architecture that MOTODEV Studio is based upon enables support, in future releases, for a myriad of other Motorola products. Get it today.
Sweet victory! MOTODEV and I-play congratulate Paul Carruthers and Chen Jianbo, grand prize winners in the MOTODEV Game Developer Challenge. Each will receive an exclusive publishing contract with I-play as part of their prize package.
Carruthers won the Java category for Monkey Pole Climb, a challenging combination of speed and strategy that is fun to play and maddeningly difficult to conquer.
Jianbo took the Windows Mobile category with Fire Hawk, an exciting vertical shooter featuring dynamic aerial combat across six separate missions.
Gob N Frog by The Mighty Troglodytes was named runner-up in the Java category, while Int13 Production's Crazy Kart took runner-up honors for Windows Mobile. Congratulations to our winners and all our finalists for pushing the envelope with their incredible games!
MOTODEV invites you to attend two rewarding events in Mountain View, California this month:
Mobile Entrepreneur Day (November 14) is a free half-day symposium dedicated to de-mystifying the partner process for startup companies across the mobile value-chain.
Under the Radar | Mobility (November 15) is your chance to see, hear, and meet key players in the mobile universe, from the elusive carriers to the content developers, stealth startups and industry leaders. MOTODEV members get $100 off the regular price of $695 for this conference.
MOTODEV business and market development representatives will be on hand at both events to discuss your unique solutions.

MIDP 3.0 - The Next Generation In Java ME Application Development
Ever since Java for Mobile Devices was released in 1998, it has been widely adopted by most manufacturers and application programmers. Java ME is available on more than 80% of the handsets sold today and it remains a very favorable programming environment due to its wide availability. Though portability has suffered due to fragmentation issues, it still seems to be the #1 choice for mobile application programmers.
Some of the biggest drawbacks of Java ME today are that MIDP1.0 and 2.0 implementations do not support concurrency, background execution and inter-MIDlet communications. MIDP3.0 promises to change that. Read More...
- MIDlets and Static User Libraries (
, 644 KB)
This technical article demonstrates how to build, package, and integrate your own Java ME compliant User Static Library (USL) into a MIDlet application. It discusses briefly some of the advantages and disadvantages of implementing your own USL. It then shows several methods of creating, packaging, and integrating the USL into a MIDlet application. However the design and architecture of the USL is beyond the scope of this paper. - iDEN Java ME Developer Guide (updated , 6.9 MB)
This guide describes the procedures used to develop a Java™ ME compliant application for iDEN Multi-Communication Devices. Also included is information on developing and packaging applications for installation as well as a step-by-step procedure for setting up a debug environment. This update includes coverage for the i670, i870, i580, i880, i876, i290, i335, and i425 iDEN handsets.
