You may want to check out http://www.superwaba.com for an
alternative JVM for PDAs.
They have some user testimonials from
individuals and companies that use it for business applications (there is one
in Portuguese if you can read it):

Search for “superwaba” on http://palmgear.com to get some samples written
in superwaba for your palmOS based PDA.
Hope this helps,

Hi Ray. I've done some
work in J2ME and it is quite interesting. Mobile device computing was a big
focus of this year's JavaOne content. We now are referring to it as the Mobile
Enterprise (J2EE + J2ME = Mobile Enterprise). The market is growing
rapidly for applications. I don't have stats off the top of my head, but do a
quick google and you will quickly find market breakdowns of various mobile
areas. If you are into gaming, this is one of the fastest growing areas
(somewhere around $9B if you can believe it). I spent a fair amount of my blogs
on the mobile environment (JSRs to pay attention to, IDEs, new functionality,
Project Relator) that I just did for O'Reilly while at JavaOne
last week. They are up on www.onjava.com if
you want to check them out. MIDP 2.0 is the latest spec (if you're working on
the cell phones), but keep in mind that not many devices are actually
supporting it yet. The development environments are also finally coming up to
speed with the introduction of the first ondevice debugging finally available.
It's a cool area to start playing and developing in. Have fun.

I was wondering if anyone is doing
any work using Java for mobile devices. What are the market potentials for Java
mobile software applications? Is it worth getting into?
