Last night I was able to download some free Java applications and install them on my Motorola SLVR L7 cell phone. I also figured out how to transfer mp3 files via USB and play them on my phone! This is awesome, because now I can listen to music or audio books on the go without carrying an extra mp3 player. (My phone doesn't seem to support mp3 files higher than 128kbps.) I've also been wanting to write some educational software (which I already started writing in Java) and now I can port it to Java Micro Edition (Java ME) and run it on my cell phone.
I tried copying music to the phone before, but the phone didn't seem to see the files. The step I was missing was to hit the menu button to switch sources from the phone to the memory card. Similarly, to install the MIDlets (Java ME apps), I have to choose the memory card and then select "[Install New]" to install the MIDlet from a .jar file.
