The Big Idea
So the first question I get when I tell people I am starting a company is something along the lines of "What is the Big Idea?". So here is it :
"To help mobile application and content providers to develop their products cheaper, faster, and better."
The demand: As anyone who works in mobile wireless can tell you and anyone who gets into the industry finds out very quickly, There are a lot of roadblocks to developing and launching an application or mobile content chanel. Most of the roadblocks stem from the problem that in any given mobile market, there are numerous carriers, each with their own requirements and specifications as well as multiple device manufacturers and hundreds of different devices (handsets). Now multiply those numbers of carriers and handsets times the number of different programming languages, audio formats, network types, screen sizes/color depths, browsers, etc., and you start to get an idea of the scope of the problem. And it is all details.
So the focus of my company is to make tools and provide services to mobile application developers and content providers to help if not solve the problem of developing and deploying on multiple devices, on multiple carriers, in multiple mobile markets.
Sounds simple enough...

Plan:
Step 1: Collect underpants ...
OK seriously though.
As far as the business plan; I'm not sure how much of that I am comfortable sharing in a blog. Probably more as we get launched and move forward.

Nothing that complex. We are a SMALL startup. Also we are targeting all mobile developers and content providers, notjust J2ME. Tira does have very impressive solution. Complex though
