Sun拓展J2ME开发平台

时间关系，不能详细翻译，引用摘译一部分。总之，Sun Micro Edition开源平台的壮大，为移动和嵌入式开发提供了更多的选择，也对Symbian和Windows Mobile（CE）的发展起到了很好的竞争和促进的作用。

Sun Expands Java Micro Edition Platform

Sun Expands Open Source Mobile & Embedded Community With Updated Source Code, New Projects and Third Party Participation.

Sun向开源手机和嵌入式社区贡献了升级代码，以及新项目和第三方应用等。

Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced the immediate availability of the Milestone Release (MR2) of the phoneME Feature project in the open source Mobile & Embedded Community (http://mobileandembedded.org/).

Sun微系统公司宣布推出在开源手机和嵌入式社区phoneME项目的MR2发布版.

MR2 also contains a high performance implementation of Java bindings for the OpenGL ES API, which provides access to high-end 3D graphic functionality on the device. These capabilities facilitate the creation of graphically rich and compelling entertainment, business, and social networking mobile applications. In addition, Sun announced updates on the evolution of the Mobile & Embedded Community, including new projects around Web 2.0/Ajax, Scalable Vector Graphics(SVG), Blu-ray Disc and digital TV and developer best practices.

MR2包含了高性能的Java OpenGL图形API，具有良好的3D图形性能表现，另外Sun宣称将后续在项目中加入对Web2.0/Ajax、SVG（可升级矢量图形）、蓝光和数字电视开发等最佳实践。

The phoneME Feature project source code forms the basis of Sun's commercial products, the Sun Java Wireless Client and the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) HotSpot Implementation, which are targeted for mainstream mobile devices. The Sun Java Wireless Client enables Sun licensees to develop Mobile Service Architecture (MSA) based devices. MSA is the next generation application platform which enables access to most of the native capabilities of mobile devices such as location, enhanced camera support, Bluetooth, personal information and file management, payment, internationalization, security and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

"As technology continues to converge and more and more participants join the 'network', the demand for new consumer applications continues to increase. Developer participation in the Mobile & Embedded Community will help drive new innovations in Java technology, bring more Java software-based applications to market faster and lead to reduced fragmentation across the entire industry," said Laurie Tolson, vice president, Client Software Group at Sun.

Since its inception in November of 2006, the open source Mobile & Embedded Community has gained great traction with mobile developers worldwide. Already, the Mobile & Embedded Community has over 60 active projects (including five projects from Sun) and more than 1,700 forum postings from more than 450 active members. In addition, several community-driven ports of phoneME have already been developed for WinCE/Windows Mobile and Nokia N770/N800, with additional embedded platforms under investigation.

PhoneME已广泛应用于WinCE、Windows Mobile以及Nokia系列（Symbian）的开发上面，个人认为配合Java的移动开发在Linux上面也很有优势，Java跨平台的优势将在移动和嵌入式应用开发上取代C/C++。当然，C/C++在通信级及底层开发方面的地位仍然是坚不可摧的。（个人浅见，估计肯定又有人要拍砖啦）

Source code for the phoneME implementations is available at: https://phoneme.dev.java.net/downloads_page.html in the Mobile & Embedded Community on java.net. Sun will also be releasing the Sun Java Wireless Client 2.0 and CLDC HI 2.0, both based on MR2, to commercial licensees on May 17th.
