The MIDP 3.0 specification (JSR-271) has reached the stage of early draft preview and now they are asking developers to provide feedback. The review period closes on February 5th 2007, so now it is time to read through the spec and let your voice to be heard.

In his post on Forum Nokia Blogs, Hartti Suomela – Java expert in Forum Nokia Americas – highlights some of the the important additions of the new MIDP 3.0 specification:

  • Should run both on top of CLDC (1.1 & 1.0) as well as CDC (1.1)
  • Communication between MIDlets + shared libraries (LIBlets) + MIDlet concurrency
  • Improvements in the packaging and in the provisioning of MIDlets
  • UI and networking improvements

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
