Numbered Musical Notation on a Java ME handset


At Allen's house I discovered a book on Java and found out that it was pretty easy to program my cell phone. So over the past couple of weeks I wrote the Rousseau music program for my Nokia 6267. It's amazing how technology and screen size have improved on these devices. If anyone is buying a cell phone (except maybe for the iPhone that doesn't have JavaME yet) it can probably run this program. It's lots of fun and great for ear training!     Download the Rousseau program
