Do most Smartphones support J2ME

Since there are different standards to develop Apps for the different Mobile Platforms, perhaps J2ME maybe a common base for all.

Is J2ME supported by most modern phones, particularly those by Apple(they tend to be different from others).

Actually J2ME is supported by most older phones and less so modern phones. Most of the phones prior to the big touchscreen breakthrough of iPhone supported three standards.

  • J2ME - which applied to the largest subset of GSM phones
  • BREW - A proprietary OS and software package for CDMA phones on the Verizon network
  • Symbian - A proprietary technology for another subset of GSM phones produced for Nokia phones primarily and maintained by Nokia.

J2ME is the most popular of the bunch and applied to most of the phones you would see from the likes of Motorola, LG, Audiovox to name a few.

Some select Windows Mobile phones today also support J2ME, but it's hardly a standard anymore.

You can see which phones currently support J2ME by going to PhoneScoop phone finder and filtering by Java-ME.
