I wondered about that too. It seems that any solution, whether written manually or adapted, would have to be based on the JSR-75 (FileConnection) API, which, from what I can work out, is not really geared toward random access. Maybe there's hope yet: http://blogs.s60.com/2008/10/enhancing-the-security-prompting-for-java-apps Although this post is already quite old, and the JSR-75 problems seem to have been around since 2007. It does seem that the iPhone has sqlite though... Tim.
