Written in JavaME, the YMTiny has been tested (and works) on various popular phones that supports at least MIDP 2.0/CLDC 1.0 specification.
YMTiny feature simple login and buddy list user interface that makes it easy to use in a small-screen environment.
Among of the feature supported in YMTiny are :
- Audible message alerts for BUZZ and chats
- Vibrate/Backlight flashing feature
- Configurable font, supports bitmap font and system font.
- “Smart Ping” maintains connection and minimizes bandwidth usage
- Receives offline messages, new mail and typing notifications

JavaME Mobile Port Scanner Midlet
If you’re into port scanning and computer security then you might appreciate this little buster which enables you to scan remote host for open port. As with other network scanners, it assumes you have network access of some sort for its operation.
Mobile Port Scanner user interface enables you to input hostname (or ip address) of the remote host that you want to scan. Scanning is performed after pressing the “Scan” softkey button and giving permission for the midlet to access the network.
What should be Improved
Although Mobile Port Scanner has done a great job at scanning remote host, I find that the midlet can be improved by providing an option for the user to select a list (or a range) of ports prior scanning.
The midlet should also include the usual service name for the port it scanned for increased usability.
Requirements
- This application requires MIDP 2.0 / CLDC 1.0 compatible phone (most modern phone meet this requirements)
- Phone which supports SocketConnection (Nokia S40 phones do not meet this requirement)
- Telco that allows you to connect to outbound port other than port 80 and 8080
Other Information
Mobile Port Scanner is licensed under the terms of GNU General Public License 2.0 and you’re welcomed to download it via SVN from its project website.
A pre-compiled version of Mobile Port Scanner can be obtained below
Application Download
- Download MIDlet Source : mobileportscanner.zip
- Download MIDlet (jar) : mobileportscanner.jar

Control Linux Computers Using Mobile Phone
Matthias Bläsing has come up with an excellent application which enables the mobile phone users to control Linux PC using bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
Linux Bluetooth Remote Control (LBRC) requires a JavaME supported mobile phone with JSR 82 (Bluetooth API), a bluetooth dongle and a Linux computer running 2.6.x linux kernel.
The application works by feeding bluetooth signal events to Linux Kernel 2.6.x /dev/input/uinput device and maps the input to keystrokes, mouse movement, mousewheel movement or mousebutton clicks in your linux computer (using customized configuration file).
Please visit LBRC website for further information about the project, I’ve personally tried the application on my Ubuntu Linux pc, and was impressed by its performance. Thumb up for ingenuity!
