MIDP3 - What do you expect it to be...

[DevelopmentTeam]

MIDP3 is going to be a simple MIDP2 sucessor. And most developers are expecting the next version to be port free meaning, to put less work on porting then on each and every device. Let us know your innovative ideas on what you expect MIDP3 to be... post here.

Hi
I got the below information to know more about midp3

MIDP3 is introducing a number of interesting features, as described below;

From article The Mobile Service Architecture Specification

> a collection of familiar, updated, and new JSRs that cooperate to support
> applications with a wide range of standardized capabilities. It broadens the
> architecture defined by JSR 185 to incorporate new technologies for
> high-volume mobile devices. To ensure greater compatibility among
> implementations, MSA also documents a set of clarifications that removes or
> reduces ambiguities that have been uncovered in some JSRs."

>
> - New MIDlet packaging and provisioning improvements
> - MIDP on top of CDC
> - MIDlet Concurrency, background MIDlets, screen saver MIDlet, and
> MIDlet launching
> - New RMS features such as support for record tagging and fast
> access, removable RMS, and other
> - Inter-MIDlet communication and events
> - Support for shared libraries (LIBlets) - this is huge, and was a
> considered pre-MIDP2; good to see it included
> - UI API improvements and gadgets
> - HTTP connection changes to include support PUT and DELETE in
> support of REST-like web services
> - Much more -- see the specification and the Javadoc

> CLDC 1.1 (JSR 139), but will also work on top of CLDC 1.0 (JSR 139) or CDC

I would like to access to low level api like turning on/off bluetooth, irda.

That should be good idea, and all I love to have is write once and run on any device kind of standard.
