How to strengthen Java ME eco-system

These days everyone who worked in mobile software talks about Android and iPhone. I just wonder what is missing part from Java ME compared to these mobile software platforms.

  • Open application store?
  • Rich APIs?
  • Compatibility?
  • Big company support?

...

Do you have any idea on it? How Sun (or Oracle) can strengthen Java ME?

1-) Pay whatever money is needed to Aplix or Simon Lewis so that the MIDP3 reference implementation is open-sourced. Make sure phones manufacturers can get a usable open source VM to run it on.

2-) Write several proper TCKs that run real-life tests, not just cover the width of the API.

3-) Go through the existing JSRs with a fine comb to remove ambiguities and gaping holes in the specs. stop trying to make a single specification fit any possible future device.

4-) Actually enforce phone manufacturers' reponsability to ship handsets without TCK failures.

5-) Work with operators worldwide to establish clear criteria and processes for application certification.

6-) Get Nokia, Sony-Ericsson and Samsung to collaborate on J2ME instead of triplicating all their efforts.

7-) Retain an independant team of existing third-party J2ME developers, big, medium and small so they can keep you on the right path.
