Tools - Phoney


Platforms

Phoney is a device simulator for J2ME applications, with a focus on the demands of media heavy applications such as games. Phoney enables multiple device builds to be run on the same emulator.

The simulator is designed for use by developers within their production environment and also for submission teams to ease the capture of device resolution images and animations.
