AW: [A5:RT] Minimum J2ME Specs and Strategy

hello,

the Cell Phone/PDA assumtion only works if you are focusing
on the enterprise sector. allthough according to Forrester
currently 43% of IT executives are thinking that mobility
doesen't matter within their bussiness processes.

additionally how would you make clear that your sister/brother
needs a cell phone that runs an avalon container ;-)

so if somebody refers to the consumer sector while talking
about avalon enabled cell phones, i would say there is
definitly no need for such a thing ;-)

allthough there are great potentials in the enterprise sector
if it comes to Java enabled cell phones or handhelds.

regards

daniel s. haischt
