MIDP 2.0 on the Mac.. It works!!!
mpowerplayer sdk
From the site:
The mpowerplayer software developer kit includes the mpowerplayer as a standalone application. It’s a pure Java emulator implementing MIDP 2.0 and MMAPI, suitable for integration with your favorite environment and IDE. Third-party integration efforts exist for Ant, Eclipse, Idea, and we hear of more efforts almost daily.
For OS X-based developers, the mpowerplayer sdk is your best (and only) option for MIDP 2.0 development and it includes Sun’s preverify tool as a native executable.
The mpowerplayer sdk is a free download – we encourage you to use our emulator as a standard part of your tool chain to reduce your build/debug cycle as well as to ensure your content runs great on the mpowerplayer. Get it today.
I can verify that it works!!! Finally doing MIDP 2 programming on my Mac. Now all I need is Eclipse integration and I will be flying high.

Streaming Media East 2005
Streaming Media East 2005: New York, NY
The exhibitors list has been published.. Some interesting things, like Webcast in a Box (although I think it is Real only). What I don’t understand is why companies continue to market themselves and their products as “proprietary”. For me, a streaming media professional, this means, stay away, far away..
