You covered a great deal of ground in this chapter. For an API targeting small devices, the MIDP is certainly big on features.

During your tour, you looked at the networking, timers, and record management system before finally reviewing the power of both the high- and low-level interfaces.

Next you'll take a look at the popular additional APIs, made available by device manufacturers, which extend this functionality even further.
