This video from jkkmobile.com shows the insides Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ when it was dissected
It seems that the German court has lifted Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1″ bans from European Union after it was discovered that the evidence presented by Apple Lawyers are flawed, specifically the aspect ratio of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1″ image was mistakenly represented as closer to Apple’s Ipad 2, which violates Apple Intellectual Property rights.
The flawed evidence has given Samsung the rights to market Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1″ in European Union, except in Germany, where the court over there would hear a full hearing to that matter beginning on 25 August 2011.
My thoughts: Apple has all the rights to protect its intellectual property, including protecting its interests from imitation. However, the use of patents to curb competition can be seen as unhealthy as it could adversely affect innovation and consumer choice.
As we all know, the Android is similar to JavaME because both runs on Java platform . However instead of executing the classfiles, Android add the extra step of converting the Java bytecode into alternative instruction set used by (into *.dex) Dalvik Virtual Machine, which makes it unable to run Java classfile (*.jar) normally used by JavaME.
Luckily, some brave soul has provided phoneME implementation for Android, which in turn enable users to execute Java MIDlet in Android. phoneME for Android can be downloaded from its website: http://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/?q=node/10#android
What you need to do is to download phoneME Advanced – Foundation Profile + MIDP or phoneME Advanced – Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution (240×320). The midlet manager provided with the distribution requires OpenIntents File Manager, which is used to browse for midlet *.jad or *.jar file.
So far, almost all core MIDP 2.0 functionality is available from the phoneME *.apk. The only incompatibilities arises from midlets that use optional JSR, which usually causes midlet manager to crash.
