One blogger (
Matt Croydon: Ajax in your pocket) has used the term "mobile Ajax" to describe networked J2ME.
Of course J2ME is nothing to do with the technology of Ajax, but the style of Ajax applications could help create interest in mobile
Java applications that interact with a web server in similar fashion.
I'm currently working on a mobile (Java ME) version of my Ajax-based puzzle site
Chihuahua, that will access the same daily puzzles and scoreboard as the Web version.
