| | Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) |
 | | As previously reported, the standard, called the mobile information device profile (MIDP), will be used in cell phones from Motorola, Nokia, LG Electronics, Nextel and NTT DoCoMo, Sun said. |
 | | The constraints on how fast current second-generation, or "2G," mobile phones can transfer data limits the amount of processing that can be handled on a central server, Chu said. |
 | | With those bandwidth constraints, it's more feasible to send the cell phone compact information, such as a description of how to display a Web page, and to let the cell phone's processor handle the creation of the actual image, he said. |
