One more thing to consider.
There's NO SMS-Push of BREW apps for good reasons. Unlike J2ME, Brew apps
don't run in a 'sandbox', so it's possible to easily create destructive
applications.
Therefore Brew apps but be approved and certified before distribution.
Having J2ME above Brew would allow for 'sandbox' apps to be directly
distributed to end users.
