The J2ME platform, like many others from nowadays, was the pioneer of implying the standard Mobile Information Device Profile 1.0 (MIDP 1.0). MIDP provides the essential functionality to create compelling cross platform mobile games. It is a specification, put out by Sun Microsystems, for the use of Java on embedded devices, such as cell phones and PDAs. Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, Sony-Ericsson, Sharp and Samsung are the major manufacturers, which support J2Me.
