Hey guys what does MIDP really mean???
I've downloaded a "zMoviePlayer" and it shows as "zmpMIDP"..my cell is Nokia 6610i;
Can anyone tell me what is it???
It only shows a very small movie of "Spider dancing"...
It says it can play movies of type "*.mcv".. But the confusion is my cell doesn't support video playback!!! :)

The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a key element of the Java 2 Platform, Mobile Edition (J2ME). When combined with the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), MIDP provides a standard Java runtime environment for today's most popular mobile information devices, such as cell phones and mainstream personal digital assistants (PDAs). The MIDP specification was defined through the Java Community Process (JCP) by an expert group of more than 50 companies, including leading device manufacturers, wireless carriers, and vendors of mobile software. It defines a platform for dynamically and securely deploying optimized, graphical, networked applications.
If this app cannot play .mpeg or other format its if no use.
