Books: Java Platform, Micro Edition
Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME, formerly known as J2ME) technologies let you write downloadable applications and services for network-connectable, battery-operated mobile handheld devices such as cell phones and two-way pagers. J2ME is one of those really cool areas. Many visionaries feel that mobile applications are the wave of the future, and I would have to agree with them. You can do some really slick stuff when you get things small. And I'm not just talking about games-the more connected your phone or PDA (or combination of the two) is, the easier it is to get things done when you're out and about. The best part about J2ME is that programming a killer application doesn't require a development team of 20 and a monthly budget larger than the GNP of many small countries.

Java books hit the wire
Wireless Java has become the white-hot technology everyone wants to learn about. But where do you start? What are the special characteristics that differentiate wireless application development from the rest of the software development world? In this article, Michael Yuan reviews six books published in the first half of 2002. Depending on your skill level, these books can help you get started with J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition), polish your skills, or advance your understanding of the wireless Java big picture.
Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) is turning into a major platform for wireless application development. Compared with desktop and server-side application development, Java-based wireless development faces some unique challenges.

Threads and networking in J2ME
This tutorial teaches you how to use threads in MIDlets to communicate over a network connection. Without multithreading, a MIDlet that requests a network connection blocks while waiting for a response from the network. In the real world, a user expects the application to continue running, even while a network connection is underway. The tutorial demonstrates the problems of non-threaded MIDlets and lets you build a multithreaded MIDlet.

Abiro-The Lab-J2ME
A must-have for new and seasoned to J2ME. Excellent book that I read from cover to cover. It describes J2ME used in mobile/cell phones (read: MIDP/CLDC) and it explains most of the related newer JSRs as well, including JTWI, Bluetooth, PIM,File Connection etc, and it's fairly new (April 2005). It assumes knowledge of Java, but is easy to follow without that (at least if you know C(++), PHP or similar before). The code examples can be downloaded from the Apress site. A comprehensive guide to the Java language. I read the digital version of the 2nd edition from 2000. Both the 2nd and 3rd editions are available for free via Bruce Eckel's site including all code examples (don't ask me why I didn't read the 3rd edition; absent-minded I guess).

Pro J2ME Polish by Robert Virkus
When you first learn J2ME, you learn about this fantasy world where all devices follow the J2ME specification to a tee. But in the real world, because of the interpretive nature of the specifications, no two devices really implement the specification exactly the same. So this requires either targeting a particular device or have many versions of you app to run on different devices. Man what a pain. But that is where J2ME Polish comes to the rescue. J2ME Polish provides pre-compiler directives to allow you to write code such that J2ME Polish's build script can automatically create different versions for you on the fly however you want. There is a lot more to J2ME Polish than just that, but this is a book review.
