I have added a new dimension to my Maps/App Engine/ClientLocation mashup. I asked Steve to build a simple Java ME application that allows me to find my location information (using JSR 179) and post it to the site along with a basic description. I am looking forward to wandering around London tagging my favourite locations.
If you aren't a tinkerer like myself I would recommend the excellent Spotjots (who licensed our GUI library to build their Java ME version).
Sony Ericsson Developer World has introduced employee blogs. Hopefully these will be an interesting insight into Java on Sony Ericsson devices.
Top 10 phone manufacturers for last month across all clients/applications on our provisioning platform. The fact that Apple is at number 2 says a great deal about which device users are most likely to download mobile applications. Sun needs to do some serious thinking about how they want to position Java ME because at the moment it seems the idea of an ubiquitous/standardised mobile runtime is dead in the water.

I have been experimenting with Google's new ClientLocation API. Doing a location look up using an IP address is old hat but this is usually done server side. The ClientLocation API is a client side JavaScript so it offers something new and unique to the location services mix.
The demo application below is based on an example by Dion Almaer. The little man icon is where the ClientLocation API reports the source of your IP address and, for those of you in London, the house icon just above Regent's Park is the Paxmodept office. The demo application is running on the Google App Engine.
PS - this works great on Nokia internet tablets where Google Maps has always been a pain to use.

I just created a QR code generator on Google App Engine using the Google Chart API. Enjoy!
The above image was generated by the Google Chart API with the following URL:

Google also have a Java QR code reader library called ZXing.
