Visual Mobile Designer
Develop GUIs rapidly with Version 2 of the Visual Mobile Designer (VMD):
Drag and drop components like wait screens, login screens, file browsers,
an SMS composer, and splash screens onto a canvas.
The VMD also makes GUI localization easier.
Video: Visual Mobile Designer and Web Services
Extend the API by creating your own custom components.
The new Analyzer tool helps you decrease file size
by identifying unused components for removal,
and it also checks for MIDP 1.0 compliance.
Mobile Game Builder
Develop mobile games with a visual editor designed for the MIDP 2.0 Game API.
The API allows you to create game scenes with sprites on a game canvas
using tiled layers and layer management.
Modular Build System
Enhance the Mobility pack by plugging-in your own components.
You can add new platform types, deployment types, configurations providers, and more.
A Solution for the Device Fragmentation Issues 
Resolve device fragmentation problems by creating multiple
device configurations for your projects.
Use the Project wizard to add new project configurations, create multiple builds,
and reuse existing configuration options for new projects.
Test your mobile application on a variety of target device emulators by leading manufacturers.
Build and deploy to real devices and perform on-device debugging.
For the Mac OS, you can now get support for mobile development,
including the SDK MpowerPlayer emulator platform, from the 6.1 Plugin Center.
