Nope it isn't java is no good at running 2 different app at the same time on mobile devices

[zee5665]

was wonderin cuz my brothers S.E w85Oi can

Why would you want it though?
You won't be using to apps at the same time

Maybe once we get ELF working we'll manage something similar.

[zee5665]

i think it'd b quite useful, and wots ELF by the way?

[ferrarix]

You can run binary apps stand-alone. That way you can use the full resources of the phone not just 2000KB Heap for example. The piece of software running will be independant from the rest of the phone.

What I meant was that you can run applications independantly of the Java environment therefore you could use more resources from the phone. For example: Java has a maximum ram access of 2MB whilst an indipendant app can use the full 64 MB RAM (or almost because of the rest of the phone's system) available on the phone.

I don't know about that. You can download anyfile on the T-Flash. Just connect it to your PC and copy using My Computer.

If you mean whether we can read them on the phone that's another question. For that we would need another app on the phone which reads such files. Even a normal java app can do that, no need for ELFs. ELFs are used for apps which require more resources from the phone than the present 2MB limit for Java.

There is no intrinsic problem with multiple Java applets running simultaneously on a mobile device. Motorola is just no good at implementing this feature on their phones.
