The open source Mobile & Embedded Community is a gathering place where developers can collaborate, innovate, and drive the evolution of the Java Platform Micro Edition (Java ME). Launched in November 2006, more than 500 active members are participating in more than 80 projects, most of them created by the community's members.

The Java ME platform is the most ubiquitous application platform for mobile devices. It provides a powerful, yet flexible, environment for applications running not only on mobile phones but across a broad range of embedded devices, such as TV set-top boxes, printers, telematics systems, and PDAs.
