Hi There,
I have some (J2me) Java MIDlets created that i would like others to be
able to download to their phones.
Can anyone help me on this, and maybe tell me the process for
deploying midlets to a web site and being able to download them to a
phone.
Is there any where free that i can use to hold my MIDlet

Thanks in advance

I have a large list of Java friendly ISPs at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/isp.html

That might narrow your search down a bit.

I'd just try google on "ISP midlet hosting"

If you just want to host the .jad and .jar (which is normaly all you need to
do) any web server will do if its MIME types are set correctly (most are -
and if not should be simple to correct). So just look for free web hosting..
remember though "you get what you pay for"

But to be more end-user friendly, normally you would set up a short code txt
service, where:

* User sends txt message to short code, stating the game they want
* Server responds with special bookmark / service (to the .jad) txt reply
* user goes to the bookmark, downloads the jad and then the jar
* jar is saved onto the phone for user to play.

This can be setup by various companies for you, http://www.minick.net just
one (which we have previously used)

If you have a website through your ISP, why not ask them to let you host
them on your website? All you need to do is ensure the proper MIME types of
set in the web server. Or, you could try someplace like midletcentral.com.
