For graphical interfaces, it provides the tools and libraries for creating menus, dialog boxes, fonts and icons. from Motorola's iDEN(R) Subscriber Group. Using this database, developers will be able to write applications that allow users to wirelessly access information in databases through Java(TM) 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) A version of Java 2 for cellphones, PDAs and consumer appliances. J2ME uses the K Virtual Machine (KVM), a specialized Java interpreter for devices with limited memory. (TM)) technology-enabled devices. MySQL was originally developed to handle very large databases much faster than existing solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several years. This relationship has been established to facilitate the development of applications for Motorola's J2ME technology-enabled multiple communication handsets. These handsets are available through iDEN network operators including Nextel Communications Nextel Communications, styled NEXTEL, (Former NASDAQ: NXTL) which is now known as the Sprint Nextel Corporation was a telecommunications firm based in the United States.
