I've found Java is a very powerful languaje and opens possibilities among cell phones, I just would like to know: what else could I make instead of games?? I know it's a matter of needs or creativity, I just would like to know what other people think. Thanks

Other then games? Well utilities are nice, how about a tool to keep score of a round of golf, or to keep the score of all the players in a game. Most phone have notepads, but you might be able to come up with some advanced features. Excerise routines, or diet planners and logs. Um, if you have a website you could build a Java based frount end for it designed for the phone. That's all I gots right about now.

a few months ago I successfully made some applications with J2ME for my cell phone.

My super calendar.
My tetris game.
My mineswipper game.
My unix trainer.
My QBasic trainer.
and some samples...

I found cool mobile games developer's site - http://www.mobilegd.com/.

Some applications at this site:
Digital Lotus
Digital Lotus creates ever changing, colorful and flowing patterns of lotus flowers. This will give you a hypnotic, mystical and uplifting experience.

QuranReader for Mobiles
Read and Search the Holy Quran. Quran Reader provides Arabic with verse by verse english translation. Supports MIDP 2.0 java-enabled phones. Note: Mobile must support .jar files larger than 850KB and screen width should be at least 128 pixels wide.

Encantadia
This is the mobile game for the hit Philippines TV series "Encantadia". Its tested using Mot-C650 but it should run on all J2ME capable phones.

Ultilities... Good alternatives to games which I always wanted to find for my mobile phone. Perhaps you would like to send us some of your creations..

Anyway, some utilities which I always wanted on my mobile phone:
1) Personal Notepad
2) Note Message Storage
3) Message Encrypter

I couldn't find such programs as yet. Probably you will be the first.

Thanks to you all for reading and writting!!! Now I feel encouraged to start woth J2ME programming! I guess I'll start with Netbeans and some other stuff from Nokia, they seem reliable.

I'm sure we'll hear more and more of that in the years to come, as the mobile phones are more advanced. As soon as I make something serious I'll let you know!

Thanx again!
