Hi,
Is there any simple methode to translate an applet (wich not make intensive use of Java API) to something that works on cellular phone ?
May be there is class on cellular phone able to provide an applet context ?

it depends what classes your applet use, most phones in the market have today java midp 2.0 and the majority have not have float type support (the latest have but they are not so popular), if it is a simple graphics applet also problems can ocur for example there is similiar support for functions like in graphics java full api class, but you will not find any function from graphics2D, there is network functions support in most phones, but you must also consider that the majority of phones have very limited device capabilities for example the most popular phones in use today in the world have folowing specification: about 250kb for java heap, software jvm very limited in speed, no file functions support ( but in applet its not requaried), BUT if you really want it is really possible to make it for the latest phones (price 300$ and higher) which have average
1,5 mb heap, quite fast jvm (some models like nokia 6630 even optimized limited hotspot!! with direct compilation etc), and really the latest phones with the higer price like sony ericsson w900 have accelerated 3d graphics chip support (check results in jbenchmarck ). Everything is possible it depends what you would like to do
Thanks for all thoses informations

And if you’re attempting to target Nokia series 40 phones the most popular screen size is 128 x 128 pixels and the jar must be less than 64KB. Some of the newer series 40 phones have high(er) resolution screens e.g. 6230i at 208 x208 - this is inface one of the most popular handsets in the UK at the moment.
I suppose it comes down to your target audience and how you aim to distribute the app.
