 Recall it was back back in June, 2004 when Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson
and Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced the Java Verified[tm] Program - a program
to provide a unified process for the testing and certification of Java[tm] applications
for mobile handsets (actually, Sun rolled out the program officially back in 2002)So what does this mean to developers and publishers? Firstly, as of June Orange
and T-Mobile Europe now require all new mobile Java applications distributed over
their wireless networks to be successfully tested under the Java Verified Program.
