To run these, your gadget would need to have Java for Windows Mobile installed.
There is not much information out there on how to do this.
But I have foundJavaFXthat can be installed on your Windows Mobile rig.
It also comes bundled with The Sun Java Wireless Client and several test applications.
Then snag the download button.
That will download the 5.2MB zip file.
Inside the zip file you will find a directory called DIST and below that BIN.
If you are downloading the zip directly to your phone, skip to the next step.
Then pick the CAB file and double hit it to execute the installer.
I strongly recommend you use your gear’s memory for installing Java unless you have a fast memory card.
It uses about 8 MB of space.
Next you will see a progress bar as JavaFX installs.
You will see the message below when you are ready to launch JavaFX.
Now you will need to locate the program file.
I found mine in my start menu.
punch JavaFX to start it up.
You will see a file menu inside JavaFX.
There are a few bundled Java applications such as a calculator, DisplayShelfMode, Fish Simulator and Twitter Mobile.
Go ahead and attempt to run one of them by clicking on it.
You will see a JavaFX splash screen like you see below.
When that disappears you will see your app.
I chose the Fishing Simulator.
It allows you to tap on the water or fish and create ripples in the water.
This is not like any fishing I know.
Creating ripples would frighten the fish off - wouldn’t it?
But anyway you get the idea that Java is functioning on your Windows Mobile unit.
Enjoy fellow Windows Mobile users!
