Java ME
Java Micro Edition. Formerly called J2ME, or JME and still called that by many — Java for handhelds and cell-phones. Java ME does not refer to any VM or API, it’s only an umbrella term for all smaller-than-desktop Java technologies, e.g. MIDP and Personal Profile. Personal profile is common on PDAs and PDA/cell-phones. MIDP in common on simple cell-phones without PDA abilities. J2ME typically would be the Java language with the enterprise communications stripped out of it. RMI is optional. Usually midlets must be signed, but other than that, there is no security breakout.

Oddly, MIDP is required to support HTTP but not the lower level TCP/IP socket protocol it is based on. Some handsets support TCP/IP sockets.

CDC (Connected Device Configuration) is 2.5 meg and might be used in set top boxes. It is foundation for the Personal Basis Profile.

KVM is smaller still and is designed for use in PalmPilot type PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant pocket organisers), mobiles, watches, embedded devices with low powered CPUs and intermittent network connectivity (MP3 player, electronics in a car dashboard, etc.).

Personal Java was an earlier attempt and is now obsolete.

There are a set of APIs, starting from smallest to biggest, roughly they go: KVM (128K RAM), CLDC (160K RAM), MIDP 1.0 Profile (288K RAM), CDC (2MB RAM), MIDP 2.0 Profile, Personal Basis Profile, Personal Profile.
