    I want to develop a mobile app. It should do the following:

    1) First, authenticate the user by a username/password stored in mysql database on my site

    2) Secondly, it should generate a list of applications installed on that device and send me the info.

    First of all tell if it is possible at all. I know that '1' can be done (I've seen it on other apps, maybe by querying a php script which queries the mysql database) but I'm not sure about '2'.

    Also, how can I make sure that it runs on majority of mobile devices? If it is developed in j2me, will it run on most of the j2me devices?

    Thanks.

    Regards
