Client Device Requirements

The client device must be a Java and GPRS/UMTS enabled device that supports the following specifications:

• Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0

  MIDP is a specification published for the use of Java on embedded devices such as cell phones and PDAs. MIDP is part of the Java ME framework. MIDP 2.0 was developed under the Java Community Process as JSR-118.

• Either Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) 1.1 or Connected Device Configuration (CDC) 1.1.2

  CLDC is a specification of a framework for Java ME applications targeted at devices with very limited resources, such as pagers and mobile phones. CLDC 1.1 was developed under the Java Community Process as JSR-139.

  CDC is a specification of a framework for Java ME applications targeted at devices with less limited resources, such as PDAs. CDC 1.1.2 was developed under the Java Community Process as JSR-218.

• JSR-75, PDA Optional Packages for the Java ME Platform, for accessing mobile device filesystems

The size of the obfuscated jar file for the MCBO API is approximately 190 KB (it can vary depending upon the size of the application), so the burden of supporting this API is low even on devices that have limited memory. Client applications are bundled with a copy of the API as a single jar file.
