What is the distinction between MIDP and JME?
How do both relate to Android? As far as I understand JME isn’t supported on Android – is that correct?
Thanks

MIDP stands for Mobile Information Device Profile. JME refers to Java Micro Edition and is a striped down version of the Java (standard edition) API suitable for mobiles and embedded devices.
The Android OS and accompanying Dalvik VM, handles “full Java”*, that is, it is not a stripped down version of the API as Java ME is.

* As @synic points out, the Android OS does not provide Swing/AWT for instance.
