The downside of J2ME (at least in the UK, where it rains a lot) is that
the phones that it runs on tend not to be waterproof. There are various

Target platform would be any device supporting JavaME.
Why JavaME exactly?
It's kind of getting long in the tooth compared to JVMs running on
modern smart phones
Not to mention smart phones usually have a soft or hard keyboard,
