Many people have begun to personalize their mobile phones with
downloadable ring tones and screen savers. Thanks to Java
technology, you can further enhance your phone by downloading
mobile applications, information tools, travel-related
applications, life management tools and interactive games.
Enabled by Java technology, phone users can now not only
decide what applications they want on their phones, but also the
look and feel of them. Developers can customize the user
interface, giving users the freedom to download the application
versions they prefer.
Applications can be searched using the wireless application
protocol (WAP) browser, and bookmarks and push messages are
provided to direct the user to sites with Java applications.
New Nokia handsets have an Applications folder
where applications can be downloaded and stored. Applications
can be stand-alone, like many games, or online services such as
stock tracking.
Applications for users to download could include anything from
a zoomable map needed on a business trip, or simply something
entertaining to pass the time.
