The sessions from the JavaOne 2007 are now online. The JAVA ME sessions provide lots of brain food for mobile developers working with J2ME.

As always, there are many sessions on new technologies that haven’t quite made it to real devices yet. However, it’s the sessions that are applicable to developing today that interest me the most. For example, the session on ‘Optimizing Midlets for Size and Performance‘ provides some great guidelines how to optimise today’s applications.

The above diagram adequately describes the thoughts going through almost all developer’s minds. My observation is that on mobile, due to constrained resources and differing functionality across phones, optimality invariably ends up compromising ‘maintainability’ and ‘low effort’ - irrespective of the programming language.
