Re: MIDP3 status?

In addition to the technical challenge of creating rich APIs that work across a vast set of hardware platforms, OSes, application frameworks, and networks there is of course the strategical and business dimension that can slow things down.

The mobile/wireless space is subject to competing interests and technologies - arguably more so than most other more established technology areas. Any attempt to standardize on features, APIs, or functionality occurs in this tension field. But standards are necessary to create economies of scale that allows content creation and deployment to occur efficiently and increase the value of the ecosystem for everyone involved.

Java ME standardization is a difficult industry-wide effort and the process depends on the willingness of the participants to work efficiently for the benefit of the ecosystem. This is not necessarily a failure of the JCP but more a reflection of the difficult environment is must operate in.
