Yes, microelmulator would need much work still.
I'd like to be able to use it in portrait mode, and ofcourse keyboard support would be nice. There would be so much cool Jave ME applications out there which I am missing from N95.

If it is slow still, it is because the implementation and porting. Java can be faster [1] than C/C++ when there is program with quite much non-persistent dynamic memory used, like in WWW-browsers. (Anyone familiar with needing to restart Firefox every once in a while because it is eating too much RAM and getting slow?)
