[Posted November 2, 2006 by cook]

ZDNet looks at Motorola's plans for their Java Micro Edition. "Motorola plans to build an open-source version of Java for gadgets such as mobile phones within the framework of the Apache Software Foundation. The work to develop the Java Micro Edition (ME) software will use the Apache License, Motorola said Tuesday, inviting others to participate in creating "a complete Java ME software stack." The move follows the company's pledge in May to release its software relating to a cell phone variant of Java ME called MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) 3.0."
