5.Scroll to your desired status, and click on it. Your new status icon will appear at the top of your contact list next to your Skype ID.

Adding a New Contact

When you log in, iSkoot automatically loads your existing Skype contact list. To add a new contact to your list:

1.Open the Options menu.

2.Select Add a Contact, and a new screen will appear.

3.In the box provided, type in the Skype user ID of the new contact. You also have the option to send him or her a greeting message.

4.Click OK.

When adding a new contact, the person will receive an authorization request and must grant permission in order to be added to your contact list. The contact will appear on your contact list but will not appear online until he or she has confirmed authorization.

Note: When you first add a contact, he or she will initially be assigned a "pending" online status. iSkoot is unable to connect you to users while they are listed as pending. After about a minute, the new contact's status will change to "offline." Once his or her status changes to offline, you can try to call them.

Receiving Contact Requests from Others

If another Skype user requests to add you to his or her contact list when you’re using iSkoot, you will receive the notification right on your handset. A screen will appear with a greeting from the person and his or her contact request.

To allow the user to add you his or her contact list:

1.Select Approve.

2.Your Skype ID and online status will appear on the person’s contact list, and he or she will be added to your contact list.

J2ME specifications

Motorola J2ME, or Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition, is a technology platform designed to enable Java applications to run on mobile devices. As a significant pivot in mobile software development, J2ME emerged in the early 2000s, enhancing the capabilities of mobile phones by allowing them to run sophisticated applications. Motorola, being one of the early adopters, played a crucial role in popularizing J2ME across its device lineup.

One of the standout features of J2ME is its portability. J2ME applications, commonly packaged as MIDlets, can run on any device that supports the Java ME framework, making them universally compatible across a wide spectrum of mobile devices. This portability allows developers to create applications once and deploy them across multiple devices without extensive modifications.

Another key technology characteristic of J2ME is its modular architecture, which includes configurations and profiles. The configuration layer defines the underlying hardware and operating environment. For example, the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is designed for resource-constrained devices, while the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) provides the standard APIs and user interface components for mobile applications. This structure enables developers to create applications optimized for various device specifications.

J2ME also introduces a range of APIs that enhance the functionality and user experience of mobile applications. These APIs allow access to networking, user interface elements, and local storage. The game API, for instance, provides a framework for building mobile games, while the multimedia API enables applications to incorporate sound and video, taking advantage of the improved capabilities of mobile handsets.

Additionally, J2ME emphasizes security, an essential aspect of mobile applications. Through a security model that includes permission settings and secure data transmission, J2ME ensures that applications can safely interact with users' data and device resources without compromising security.

Despite the evolution of mobile operating systems and the decline of J2ME in favor of more advanced platforms, its legacy continues to influence mobile application development. The principles of portability, modularity, and security established by J2ME laid the groundwork for future advancements and paved the way for the rich ecosystem of today's mobile applications. Motorola's commitment to J2ME reflects a pivotal moment in mobile technology, highlighting the importance of innovation in connecting and enhancing user experiences.
