here's a link-->it's for some processing code to be implemented in a test MIDlet.

use the bit with x, y, z.

the MIDlets will be posted soon! i swear!

meanwhile, mull over this stinging feedback from Andy:

the project goals sound more like functional descriptions.
What do you intend to achieve as a result of the existence of this project? Think of this in terms of business goals, for example.

What might be the business case for this project? Please re-do your goals. Your user needs also must be re-done. If you recall, in Lecture and the notes, I specify that the needs must be written from the perspective of what the user wants, not what the product should
do.

What the product should do is driven by user needs, not the other way around.




...tell me when will you be mine? tell me quando quando quando...we can share a love devine, please don't make me wait again...
