When the first price of J2Me technology was introduced in 1999:
Mobile phones were for talking and very little else(4812 greyscale displays, little programmability, very few with any browsing support)
Palm V was the hot new device (remenber the long lines to buy one with the pre-alpha KVM at the 1999 JavOne conference?)
People still used pagers
Five years later:
Most mobile users have a data-enabled next generation cell phone(color screens, built-in cameras, multimedia messaging, web browsers common)
Hundreds if millions of Java enabled mibile phones(J2ME proven by breath and dpth of device, operator, and consumer adoption) stanalone PDAs and pages are dead breeds.
