The PIM API provides Java MIDP applications (MIDlets) access to the personal user data residing in the device’s native memory or the SIM card. In Nokia devices this means the contents of the Phonebook (in device memory or SIM), the Calendar entries, and the items on the To-Do list.
PIM data is accessed through PIM lists, represented by the PIMList interface. There are three sub-interfaces of PIMList: ContactList, EventList, and ToDoList used for Contact lists, the Calendar, and the To-Do list.
The PIM API also provides functionality for importing and exporting the data in vCard and vCalendar Personal Data Interchange formats as specified by Internet Mail Consortium.
The Personal Information Management API 1.0 (PIM API) is included in the implementation as defined in JSR 75: PDA Optional Packages for the J2ME Platform.
