When it comes to mobile application development, J2ME IDE is used to develop applications for Smartphones. It is highly accepted by various leading mobile phone companies like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, BlackBerry, Apple, Motorola and Samsung. The main feature of J2ME, which cause everyone to go crazy behind it, is its cross-platform compatibility. It also offers highly secure and scalable platform to create mobile apps.
