The exercises will introduce you to a number of tools that can help you develop wireless applications.
You will need to download and install the tools on your own computer.
For the browser based exercises we will use the
Openwave Developer Network - Tools & SDK - Openwave Phone Simulator
(You will have to register to download these tools free of charge)
For exercises in J2ME we will use the
J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.4_02 alternatively you may prefer the newest version J2ME Wireless Toolkit Download 2.2 Release
For the exercises on .Net and .Net Compact framework we will use Visual Studio.Net
For students at
You will need to get an account (mailto:msdnaa@cs.auc.dk) and follow the link to MSDNAA at CS.AAU.DK
Alternatively you can Try Visual Studio .NET 2003 for 60 days free of charge.
Furthermore you need to

Note that you will have to register and that all tools require (a free) product key.
On BillDay.com J2ME Archive you can find a long list of J2ME tools for phones from Siemens, Motorola, SonyEricsson, etc.
If you do not have access to Visual Studio.Net or just want a lighter weight tool for building browser based application on .Net you can use the tool
