I know it has just been released as final specification and that it usually takes several months until the first devices supporting it arrive, but:
Does anyone know if MIDP 2.0 will be supported by the P800?
And what about CLDC 1.1?
Andreas (I'm an update junkie, yes)
Please enlighten me! What is MIDP and CLDC?
MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) is a flavor of the Java product for small devices, J2ME, which is targetted at more powerful devices like our beloved P800 - currently, the P800 supports version 1.0 of this specification. 2.0 has a number of important advances.
CLDC is a so-called configuration of said J2ME, and further refines the feature set. CLDC is for Connected (as in "able to connect to a network", I guess), but Limited Devices (hence CLDC).
Currently, the P800 supports version 1.0. The recently defined version 1.1 of this specification also has seen quite some improvements.
Both technologies together define the "dialect" of Java the P800 supports and thus also pin down the features you may use from a Java program running on it. MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 would allow us to write better stuff for the P800 without having to use proprietary extensions to the Java programming framework.
MIDP 2.0 is supposed to be included in the UIQ 2.1. However SE hasnt licensed UIQ 2.1 yet and has no plans for upgrading the platform.

Strange?
I have heard from SE sweden that a 2.1 UIQ upgrade is coming. Are you sure?
I would like to get this cleared up as I would really like MIDP 2.0 which will be in Symbian 7.0s and UIQ 2.1.
Thanks.
