> J2ME is an unprecise term. I'd guess they mean J2ME/MIDP. The other profiles did even fly less probably. Java’s attempt to make the GNU/Linux terminology nitpicking portable? ;) Wasn’t there also CLDC, CDC etc.? I could never figure out what the hierarchy there was – was MIDP above or below C(L)DC? All devices I ever encountered were of the MIDP and CLDC type, in any case.

Right those existed, too. I think bottom up it's Java, J2ME, CLDC, MIDP. So the programmer really works with MIDP. I vaguely remember PP (Personal Profile IIRC). That was probably CDC/PP. Nokia either put it into one of the communicators or at least intended to so. 9210 I'd guess. But apps were extremely rare.
