I'm working with J2ME since mid May. Interested in any info about it.
May be you guys had this discussion in the past, but I'd like to know how
you overcome a "small screen" problem, which seems to be the most serious
one in my apps. I guess everybody has tricks to share. At some point I have
made the whole form framework based on XML descriptions for forms, but
didn't have time to complete it.
So a possible topic could be: Solution for small screen problem.

Andrei Podoplelov

Subject: [CoMoDev] Our next meeting
Hey folks!
We've all been kinda quiet since the June meeting. Either we're buried with
work (I've got my hand up) or on a summer break. Anyway, just wanted to
give a big thanks again to Kevin Price for a great preso on RFID that was
jammed with a lot of good information. The nutshell message I came away
with was slightly scary: RFID is a loose umbrella term for a bunch of
related technologies, many of which are not necessarily ready for prime time
but are getting pushed into prime time any way by a few early adopters with
the market clout to force adoption more widely. The other message: it's
coming now, but beware the hype. RFID has its place, but physics,
engineering, and economics dictate that barcoding is going to be around for
quite some time and RFID will emerge gradually. Sounded to me like the
biggest opportunity in the near term may be for RFID-related services:
companies that come in when an RFID deployment hasn't gone as planned and
figure out how to fix the situation.
So... we've got about 12 days before our next meeting and I thought I'd put
the usual request out for presentations. Anybody got something they'd like
to show or talk about? Requests for things they'd like someone else to talk
about? Don't be shy!
I've been thinking maybe we should try to get Darren Shaffer back for
another .NET CF presentation. I don't know if that could happen this month
(heck, I'm not sure we could get him back at all after the debacle at Rock
Bottom Brewery last year) but I'm throwing it out there. Another question:
are people interested in hearing a little about J2ME? Something like
"Writing GIS applications that run on a $99 handset"? Let me know.
Cheers!
