Java on Palm T3

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

Personally, I wouldn't try your luck if I was you, but that's just me. I
personally only would download apps that would be 100% compatible with the
Palm Tungsten T3 and E.

Again, it's just me, but feel free to download those Java Games for Mobile
Phones onto your handheld. If they don't work, then please politely beg for
a Palm OS-friendly version of a particular game.

How about a game of Qix or two?

That's pretty much what I suspected. I thought it was a bit odd that most of
the links from the PalmOne page on J2ME were to sites with Java midlets for
mobile phones.

Thanks for the response.

No need even for the utility to convert, it's installed as part of the
package. I just surf with my Tungsten C with the built in browser, and tap
on a .jar or .jad and it's passed with exchange manager, converted, and
fired up.
