Description
Did you ever wonder how to write a Java app for a mobile device? Have you ever wondered how a mobile device might make use of a web service? This presentation will cover the basics of JME, broken down into three acts: 1) What and why of JME, 2) A quick "mile wide and an inch deep" overview of some JME specific API's, and 3) A simple (but cool!) mapping application to make it all a little more concrete.

Description
We all know that Java applications can fit neatly on a standard PC, and scale to large multi-machine clusters. Java can also scale down into small systems like phones. A group of researches at Sun Labs asked "What if these small systems could cluster too?" The result was the development of the SunSPOT- a small Java powered device (with sensors!) that is finding all kinds of interesting applications in rockets, on slot cars, and in robotics. In this session we will review what a Sun SPOT is, and review a simple robotic application that will require two Sun SPOT to work together.
