Re: MIDP3 status?

Many new System properties, JAD attributes, eSWT and Access Point API:

New APIs available:

    * Nokia IAPInfo API
    * Device dedicated Media keys (Play/Pause/Stop) access as normal key
events
    * Control over End call key (Red call key) behavior for
application's lifecycle
    * Enabling device theme background for Canvases for custom component
usage
    * Prevention of screen saver via Nokia UI API
    * Foreground/background events via pauseApp/startApp
    * Flip close event for fold/clamshell devices via pauseApp
    * Access to device IMEI, network access type (gprs / csd etc.),
network id, network signal level, battery level, country code, date and
time formats via system properties
    * LCDUI Canvas Graphics scaling (introduced originally in 3rd ed)
enhanced for orientation switching devices

Developers and operators ask for these things, none of them available in
JSRs.

What proprietary extensions and APIs are Nokia looking at deploying? I
know that they did the com.nokia.mid.* stuff that a few others took on
board - so maybe the manufacturers should take the lead and build and
share?

Sorry for the blog spam, but my opinion is that this is a problem with
JCP process itself, not with MIDP 3.0.

Yeah, MIDP 3 has been in the works too long. I think part of the problem
is that it grew in requirements substantially over time and there were
quite a few technical challenges. It defines much improved application
management and concurrency, shared libraries, new security model aligned
with CDC, the basics of a service framework, inter-midlet communication,
and a bunch of other things. Still, it took too long IMO (release early,
release often ...).

MIDP 2 is a part of MSA and there are a number of interesting MSA
devices out now, SonyEricsson, Nokia S40 5th edition, and others.
