A Java verification program for Java apps? While it is certainly not a new idea to most of us, it is certainly worth repeating for those who have not heard of it. Not too long back, Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson and Sun Microsystems all got together to create a program called Java Verified. This event has had a profound affect on developers and publishers alike. Some companies are requiring some of the Java apps for mobile devices to be tested under the Java Verified Program.

Also available at www.javaverified.com are detailed explanations of the testing process, testing criteria, pricing and access to member companiesÆ marketing and distribution programs. Wireless network operators, device manufacturers, application publishers and others interested in joining the Java Verified Program and advancing the program’s goals should email the Java Verified Program Office at jvpo@javaverified.com.”
