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 words limitations of and/or 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)
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
