What Does MIDlet Mean?
A MIDlet is an application that uses the mobile information device profile (MIDP) for the Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) environment. When Java was the most widely used mobile platform, the MIDlet became the most ubiquitous of mobile applications. In fact, MIDlets still exist in a majority of low-end feature phones.
Techopedia Explains MIDlet
- Direct method: Entails the use of a connection between the development computer and device. Although the most commonly used connection medium is data cable, employing wireless connections, like Bluetooth and infrared (IR), is also possible.
- Over-the-air (OTA) provisioning: The MIDlet is uploaded to a Web server and accessed via the target device’s built-in browser. Because anyone can access the MIDlet at any time, this method is ideal for large scale deployments.
