MIDP and Bluetooth as Java Card substitute

843851Mar 30 2003 — edited Apr 25 2006

Hi,

I'm a Java developer, but not a Java Card developer, so I'm curious about the opinions of Java Card developers. It seems to me that IR and Bluetooth enabled J2ME/MIDP devices could be used in many situations where Java Cards are currently used. Depending on the adoption rates of
a) Bluetooth enabled computers, devices, access points, etc... and
b) cell phones with both Bluetooth and J2ME
It may soon (a year or two) become cheaper and/or more convenient to issue users without a J2ME Bluetooth phone, such a device, than to issue all users Java Cards.

So, entrenched coders
1) Is this migration sane?
2) Is anybody doing it, now?
3) How hard/trivial is porting the applications?

Thanks,
Curt
