Limitations of MIDP 1.0
- MIDP 1.0 has no active rendering APIs
- MIDP 1.0 has no support for direct access to image pixels (RGB data)
- MIDP 1.0 has no support for full screen mode
- MIDP 1.0 has no support for audio.
- MIDP 1.0 requires only HTTP support.
- MIDP 1.0 cannot query key status (although key events are supported)
- The specifications are not always clear, leading to differences in implementations.
Some limitations may be avoided by using a vendor-specific API or MIDP 2.0, which obviously reduces the portability of the application.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
