Top five Java (J2ME) mobile web application

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Does your fingers keep fluttering through your mobile phone's in-built Browser for all your web needs? If yes, then It is high time to let you know that you Can do all those things faster and in a more better way. So I have listed the top five must have mobile web applications for your Java J2ME Phone (Nokia, LG, Samsung, Motorolla etc.). Rankings are according to their performance. All of these have been tested by me on imate Jam (wm3se
1. Opera mini 4.2
Type: freeware
My rating : 4.0/5
Opera mini is a great mobile web browser supporting file upload in j2sr supported phones. It opens the web pages after compressing it at its Servers located in US giving you a superior Speed even on slow Connection.
Thumbs up: zoom feature , with this You can view snapshot of the Page and Zoom out specific portion of the page. Back to previous Page (back) is good as it doesn't reloads the whole page Saving your time.
Thumbs down: Cant play flash So don't think of In browser videos. Forget youtube.
Download at : http://m.opera.com
2. Snaptu
Type: Adware
My rating: 3.8/5
It is a great web application with iphone Inspired look. with this you Can add your facebook, Twitter, flickr, picasa, account And feel the iphone like Customized look and function. Not only this you Can get news and feeds from Your favorite website. With weather application you Can even get Seven days weather forecast and See indices. It allows You to add Various sub-apps like Soduku, quiz , TV guide etc. on application home screen.
Thumbs up: look, feel and scrolling are good.
Thumbs down: It doesn't works offline, It means When you have no net connection, It will not open up, will not even show You the home Screen!! And even each of the menu, Submenu items are loaded from Server So before running it, ensure that you have unlimited Internet plan with your Service provider else it may cost you quite a buck.

3. Yeigo 1.0.4
Type: freeware, service
My ratings: 3.2/5
Can't chat on your phone as you do on your PC/notebook? then download Yeigo. This application allows you to chat on various Social networking sites And messengers. You Can add your gtalk(you will be online at orkut too if you have an account of it), facebook, yahoo messenger , MSN, qq, skype, icq, AIM account And you will be online on all of them and Can Chat with Many of them simultaneously. If you have some credits you can send sms and call through VoIP.
Thumbs up: Very good user friendly interface and live chat experience even on Slow connection
Thumbs down : once a Contact is online on facebook it always shows online until you close chat frame in your account using a PC.
To Download: Search for Yeigo on getJar
4. Gmail Java app
Type: freeware
My rating: 3.0/5
the Java Gmail application from google is at last Something good to get your gmail box to your phone.
Thumbs up : nice & smooth Scrolling
Thumbs down: too Complex look of grouped mails and it is very Slow.
5. Bolt Browser and UC browser
Type : freeware
My rating: 2.9/5
And here is the tie for fifth position in my ranking. Both Of the Browser Scores equal But are distinct at their functions. with Bolt Browser you can play youtube videos while UC browser is a multi-tab browser.
Thumbs up: Bolt browser opens a webpage Same as Any PC browser would, Supporting JavaScript. UC browser has nice interface and is faster than bolt, it Supports multi tabbed browsing
Thumbs down: bolt reloads at each form Input and you can't navigate while a page is loading
Both of the browsers Are slower than opera mini

finally I would like to Say, download them all and feel the Power of your Phone and See what it Could do for You.
