While I understand and agree with some (not all of the comments) understand that J2ME is not targeted for just phones and PDA's. It extends beyond this space to include embedded systems, devices with no real display etc... While the book focus' on wireless devices, that is only one small area of J2ME. It terms of the comments on the slowness of the Java platform, I would suggest that you look at this again. Benchmarks have shown that Java's speed rivals that of a native language like C or C++. 90-99% of the slow Java programs out there are a result of programmers who have no clue as to what they are doing. They read Learn Java in 21 Days and boom they are Java programmers, don't think so. Just because you can read, doesn't mean you truely understand, comprehend and can apply the technology. Just my.02.
