These mobile devices work on operating systems (OS) such as Symbian OS, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Palm OS, iPhone OS, and Android etc. For mobile application development, Sun Microsystems designed the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) , an Application Programming Interface (API) to develop software for small and resourceconstrained devices.
