New J2ME APIs: Mobile Sensor API and RFID
JSR 256 - Mobile Sensor API: “The API provides general Sensor API that extends the usability and choice of sensors for J2ME applications. It defines generic sensor functionality optimized for the resource-constrained devices like mobile devices.”
JSR 257 - Contactless Communications API : “This specification will define J2ME Optional Packages for contactless communication, one package for bi-directional communication and the other for accessing read-only information.” “As currently proposed, JSR 257 would set the stage for both one-way and bi-directional data capture and data integration from RFID, barcode and other existing and standard approaches.”
I was wondering if you could point me to a forum or SDKs for J2ME RFIDs. Actually, any kind of information you could provide about them would be amazing. I’m trying to do a project for a senior design class that I’m in but feel very lost and overwhelmed. Originally I was going to try to get a hold of a n RFID enabled cell phone but since they’re not avaible in the states yet I’m trying to figure out an emulator. I was looking for anyone with anything they can offer. I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,
Kelly

“The Nokia 5140 and 5140i phones with the integrated Xpress-on™ RFID Reader shell allow you to launch services and access phone functions such as dial or send messages by touching an RFID tag.”

“The Nokia NFC & RFID SDK enables you to develop, run, and test Java™ applications for the enterprise Field Force Solution using the RFID and NFC technologies. You can program Java MIDlets, such as company-specific Local Interactions (LI) Client phone applications.”

Hey - that information was very helpful but I can’t seem to find a place to actually download the SDKs that I would need - any thoughts or ideas where I could?
I believe you have to contact Nokia about that:
http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,76301,00.html
“Nokia NFC & RFID SDK works together with the Nokia LI Server. Please contact your Nokia Field Force Solution sales representative or send e-mail to: fieldforce.info@nokia.com for more information.”
It might not be free.
Nokia RFID & NFC Shells can be bought from here:

The SDK, including five 1-year licenses to the Nokia LI server, costs 2000 Euro (!)
Can anyone please tell me the blog/message board for Sensor APIs?
