JavaTM, is a technology developed by Sun Microsystems. Similar to the way you would download the Java Applet using the standard MS Internet Explorer browsers, Java MIDlet can be downloaded using a WAP enabled phone. Depending on the service provider, all Java based programs such as Java games can be downloaded and run on a phone. Once downloaded, the Java program can be viewed in the Downloaded menu where you can select, execute, or delete. The Java program files saved in the phone are in .JAD or .JAR format.
Note
]The JAR file is a compressed format of the Java program and the JAD file is a description file that includes all detailed information. From the network, prior to download, you can view all detailed file descriptions from the JAD file.
]While being based on a standard language (J2ME), not all Java applications are compatible with all handsets on sale insofar as specific libraries may be used for a telephone model. The software may be blocked or switch itself on when Java applications not specifically developed for the phone this manual refers to are downloaded, making it necessary to “restart” the handset. We would like to point out that these problems are caused by incompatible applications and are not a product fault.
Caution
]Only J2ME(Java 2 Micro Edition) based programs will run in a phone environment. The J2SE(Java 2 Standard Edition) based programs will only run in a PC environment.
