I know little (next to nothing) about J2ME. It appears J2ME will never be able to support non-blocking IO because that usually requires native support for such oprations, which is not avaialble on all micro platforms. I have found no mentioning anywhere on the web whether that means no NIO altogether or just no Selector related classes. Anyways, NIO may become a problem if HttpClient 4.0 were to run on J2ME without modifications.
