9.8 MIDlet Manager
Your T-Mobile MDA III supports Java 2 Edition, J2ME. The MIDlet Manager allows you to down-
load Java applications such as games and tools specifically designed for mobile devices. You
will find that some Java applications and games may have already been installed on your device.
The Java MIDlet Manager gives you the flexibility of installing and managing additional J2ME
applications from the Internet.
Installing MIDlets directly from the Internet
You can install MIDlets/MIDlet suites directly from the Internet using Internet Explorer in con-
junction with the MIDlet Manager .
1. Connect to the Internet and locate a MIDlets/MIDlet suite you wish to download (this is normally a
.jad and a .jar file).
2. Select the MIDlets/MIDlet suite and download it.
3. You will be asked to confirm before the download begins.
4. A progress screen is displayed while the files are being downloaded. You may cancel the download
at any time.
Once your download is completed, the MIDlet Manager will automatically start and prompt you
to install your new MIDlets/MIDlet suite. You must confirm that you want to proceed and the
installation of your MIDlets/MIDlet suite is completed. Alternatively, you can cancel the installa-
tion at any time.
Installing MIDlets from a PC
You can install MIDlets/MIDlet suite onto your T-Mobile MDA III from your PC using the USB
sync cable, the optional cradle, infrared or Bluetooth. MIDlets transferred to your T-Mobile MDA
III using infrared, Bluetooth, or as E-mail attachments are automatically saved in the My Docu-
ments directory.
To install MIDlets via a physical connection (such as USB sync cable or cradle) use Windows
Explorer to copy your MIDlet file(s) from your PC to any of the following temporary directories
listed below, from where they can be installed by the MIDlet Manager .
1. Device memory
Mobile Device\My Device\My Documents\My MIDlets
2. Storage card
Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\
n If the folder My MIDlets not exist in My Documents , you need to create one with exactly the
same folder name.
