Sprint Music Store for the Apache - any reason why not?

I was at the sprint store today looking at the Titan (couldn't justify paying full price for it with the new kitchen rom on my Apache).

I was looking at the sprint music store application on the Titan/Mogul. It seems to be just a java app that runs on its java program. Since the new Apache kitchen has esmertec java, why couln't we just run the music store through there?

I have been trying to download the java ap, but can't find it online. I am going to look in the titan forum to see if anyone can provide it for me to try.

Thoughts?

That would be less then advised due to how the program works. When the program downloads an mp3 the charges go to your account. But since its flagged as a ppc6700 it'll look fraudulent. Further more I doubt it'll get through the authentication process on sprints server.

But if you get it to work more power to ya!

Good point -- although I am sure sprint would be happy to charge me anyhow. Plus, they also offer desktop downloads (I think) so maybe they would think it was desktop download. On a similar note, if it was as easy as installing a java ap, why not post for download - that way more people could pay for music? I am going to give it a shot if I can and see what happens.

ok. I tried copying the files to /windows. I tried running from both the file itself and from esmertec java. no dice. clicking on the music.exe launches esmertec java but the java ap (midlet?) is missing. I feel like there should be a .jad file but there was not one supplied. If anyone has any ideas or can get this to work, I'd be willing to test a few song downloads and see how the billing situation works out.

Try going to here, I remember getting a .jad file there. I gotta try it now that I have WM6. Good luck.

sorry guys, hadn't noticed the date on the last post.
