Java Applets for your Mobile

One of the best thing about today’s mobile phones is that you aren’t restricted to the applications that you get on purchase. Like a PC, your mobile is almost endlessly extendable through all sorts of neat applets a lot of which are freeware and can be easily found online.

If you want to run the latest applets make sure your phone is compatible with Java MIDP 2.0. This feature isn’t just for expensive phones; it’s available even on moderately priced phones like the Sony Ericsson K300i. Installing Java applets is very easy. Check your phone’s manuals for details but typically you download a .jar file to your desktop. Using a USB connection and your phone software you copy the file to your mobile memory and then open and install the file within your mobile. The whole process might take a couple of minutes.

The range of applets is immense and almost as diverse as the software available on a regular PC. Games are very popular and there is something for every taste: action games, card games, sudoku, chess etc. There are plenty of utilities as well: scientific calculators, money managers, calendars and lots more.
