Java ME
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Java Platform, Micro Edition.
The platform uses the object-orientedJava programming language, and is part of the Java software-platform family. It was designed by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation) in 1999 under the name Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition. The earliest commercial Java ME software and supporting consumer hardware were released in 2001. MIDlets run inside a Java virtual machine understood by devices of various mobile manufacturers. This "write once, run anywhere" approach along with highly compressed file sizes made Java ME very popular for building simple mobile apps, most notably mobile games.
