Treo 600 & Java applets

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Palmone says the Treo 600 browser won't support Java applets. To
me, this is a serious drawback.

Am I understanding this wrong? Is there a way for Java applets to
run on a Treo 600 with a third party application, perhaps?

TIA

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA

Actually, the Java plug-in and the MIDlets were just recently announced.
Maybe they haven't cleaned up the FAQs yet.

J2ME MIDP support does *NOT* equate to Java Applet support !!!

You can load up the latest MIDP 2.0 release for Treo 600 and you
will be able to run MIDlets but *not* applets !!!
