10.5 Using MIDlet Manager
MIDlets are Java applications that can run on mobile devices. Your Ameo
supports Java™ 2 Micro Edition, J2ME™. The
MIDlet Manager allows you to
download Java applications, such as games and tools that are specifically
designed for mobile devices. Although some Java applications and games
have already been installed on your Ameo, the Java MIDlet Manager gives you
the flexibility of installing and managing additional J2ME applications from the
Internet.
To install MIDlets from the Internet
1. Locate the MIDlet/MIDlet suite while connected to the Internet.
2. Select the MIDlet/MIDlet suite to download.
3. Confirm to start downloading.
4. Run the file(s) to install.
To install MIDlets from a PC
You can install the MIDlets/MIDlet suites on your Ameo from a PC using the USB
sync cable or Bluetooth. MIDlets copied to your Ameo are automatically saved in
the My Documents folder. However, you can copy the MIDlet file(s) from a PC to
any of the following temporary folders on your Ameo from where MIDlet Manager
can install them.

Device memory: ../My Device/My Documents/My MIDlets

Storage card/Microdrive: ../My Device/Storage Card or Microdrive
Note If the My MIDlets folder does not exist in My Documents, you can create one with
the same folder name. However, a folder named Storage Card automatically
appears after you insert a storage card into your Ameo.

2. From the list, tap the MIDlet/MIDlet suite that you want to install.
