Actually, that’s old news – we hit that milestone several weeks ago 
The Java Spotlight Podcast has taken off in an astonishing way in less than a year since it was launched – thanks in large part to my tireless partner in crime, Roger Brinkley, who doesn’t waste any chance to snag an interview anytime, anywhere. Beware if you ever happen to find yourself in reach of his microphone
One of my recent personal favorites is episode 51 “Live at JavaOne – Java Platform Timelines and Duke’s Choice Award Winners”. A live audience, a fun mood, and some very cool technologies. Check it out.
While you’re there, browse the list of wide-ranging topics of some of our other episodes, from Java EE, to JavaFX, Java performance, Java ME, cool stuff, and much more.
Cheers,
– Terrence

I’m really disappointed from the oracle silence.
You continue to talk about JavaME like nothing happened and like it exist.
Who use JavaME today and who will use it in a few months?
RIM abandoned JavaME. The next QNX devices will not have Java at all.
Do you really think that JavaME exist today?
Is there only one reason for a new company to start developing in JavaME, is there only one reason for an existing company to continue developing in JavaME?
What is the oracle plans about this died but great technology?
If you are not clear with your plans how do you think to attract people using JavaME?

Davide,
It seems to me you are too focused on the smart phone space … smart phones are just a small fraction of the worldwide mobile and embedded landscape. Java ME has wide deployment across many consumer and embedded sectors – it is the leading technology in many markets. And at JavaOne, Oracle has announced road maps, initiatives, and products to drive Java even further into these areas and beyond. In fact, with the new announcements you will see the boundaries of Java SE and ME blur – Java will become the single technology of choice to scale from enterprises all the way down to small embedded.

Thanks for the answer Terrence, I really appreciate it.
You are right, I started with JavaME using MIDP1 and I have seen a growing market exploding, some years ago every phone/smartphone got a JavaME environment, 99.9% of mobile phones is JavaME capable, now is the opposite. It’s quite difficult for me to see JavaME outside the mobile phone market or focused only in feature phones.
I will follow you and see, good luck and thanks for your work.
