Does Oracle's JavaCard SDK allow one to develop simtoolkit - javacard

I am trying to develop a SIMToolkit application.
i am complete new to this. I want to know what IDEs can be used to develop STK apps for SIM Cards.
Also I would like to know if JavaCard SDK allows to access call-related functions in STK.

Yes, it supports. You may use Gemalto's IDE which is actually an Eclipse integrated with JavaCard SDK. It is a pretty well-developed IDE which also supports STK apps for SIMCards with pretty much good ready-to-use examples.

All the APIs are documented in ETSI 102 241 specification. You don't need Gemalto's super expensive SDK. ETSI web site will provide all the documentation and JAR files.

NoSQL databases that officially support MonoTouch

I am having trouble finding a NoSQL databases that officially support MonoTouch via a local DB on the device. If their are, could someone provide a list of them here.
According to http://nosql-database.org/ there's siaqodb. Note that others might support MonoTouch without being mentioned in that site.
Edit: a few more clicks shows that HSS Database (from the same list) also supports MonoTouch.
You might also want to look at which ones support iOS (e.g. with Objective C) and see if bindings are available (or write your own).
Take a look on Couchbase Lite xamarin's component
RavenDB supports an embedded mode, and can run on Mono using the "Munin" storage engine option.
Although, there has been talk in the user group lately about dropping Munin, and it's not usually recommended for production, so it may not be a viable option.
I've not heard of someone using it with MonoTouch specifically, but there are some running it on Mono. If you try it, please update comments here with your findings. Thanks.
A bit late, but still relevant:
I'm the author of MarcelloDB, and I just released version 0.3.0 on nuget.
MarcelloDB is a document DB, built specifically for mobile apps (light-weight, low memory usage) and supports Xamarin Android and iOS as well as the windows platform.
I still have some features I want to add before reaching v1, but the file format and existing api are allready quite stable.

How to access NFC Secure Element in upcoming BB10 handsets and platform?

Since straight Java development isn't going to be supported on BB10 (Am I right?), at least not without using the Android Java Runtime (which I don't want to use), I'd like to know if there will be official support and an official API from RIM for accessing and writing on the Secure Element of the upcoming BB10 handsets. I'm a developer who's considering the BB10 platform for developing an application which will need read/write operations on the Secure Element. Would that be possible? Would I be needing special permissions and/or keys from RIM?
Apparently there's not much documentation on the subject so far.
They have removed the SE on BB10 and left only the UICC...And we feel it's a good thing, as there were loads of issues with accessing the SE of a SIM
After some posting on other forums, I learned that there is indeed an API for accessing the SE in the upcoming BB10 platform. It was included in the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK (Beta 2). So far, it seems it serves my purposes.
Your best bet would be to go to the RIM issue tracker site, you can get access if you make an account at the BlackBerry Jam Zone. Submit an issue under the BlackBerry 10 project making the business case for what you want to do. They may be able to tell you what their plans are, but there is still some mutability in the road map if you can make a strong enough case.

MonoTouch - cross-platform API abstraction layer?

I understand that with MonoTouch and MonoDroid that you develop against the native UI layer, which is a good thing. However, I was wondering if there were any cross platform Mono API layers for features such as camera, location, storage, notifications etc... ?
PhoneGap supplies a JavaScript a abstraction layer that does just this. Is there a Mono equivalent?
There is an official monomobile api project from xamarin - that provides camera, contacts and gps abstractions, plus there are discussions (but not firm roadmaps) about extending this further. See http://blog.xamarin.com/2011/11/22/introducing-the-xamarin-mobile-api/ for an intro
Beyond that:
some api's exist cross platform from the start - eg isolated storage can be used on all platforms.
I've seen a few other GitHub projects started - eg chrisntr's mono extensions
I've written a few abstractions (e.g. File, gps, camera) in http://GitHub.com/slodge/mvvmcross
I recently came across MonoDroid.Dialog. I have yet to use it, but if it is as easy as MonoTouch.Dialog to do tables then I will be very happy with it.

How to develop for MRP (Mythroad, platform for chinese mobile application)?

Hello dearest community
I just given a task to develop a mobile application for chinese mobile phone, Nexian NX-G920. At first, I think it can just run the J2ME application. But it didn't, it only support MRP application. Having read about it here : MRP, I think my best case is, if any, convert my *.JAR application into *.MRP. Is there any tool that can do it?
My Plan B is, to develop using specific MRP SDK. But that is just to costly, in term of effort to be use.
As far as I know there are only Java to C translators or Java bytecode to assembly translators like those listed in this question.
These include JCGO, Toba, gcj and llvm. However a Java to C translator or similar is only part of the solution because it would only help you if you were translating classes that didn't interact with Java libraries that are not part of the MRP platform. This is because MRP platform won't have the libraries you link to and will have different GUI and hardware API calls than J2ME.
The only SDK for MRP is the OpenSDK which you have already mentioned.
I think I've found one solution, but I have to use my C languages, not the plain J2ME as first I thought it will. Here is the SDK, Open SDK by Sky Mobi.
Haven't try it though, but I think this is one solution that fit the problem.

Which framework to use for Mobile Agents?

After learning that JADE does not support Mobile Agent concept but supports only traditional Agent Framework, I was wondering which Framework or technology still uses Mobile Agent Concepts and I can build an application using it. IBM's Aglets could have been, but it is no longer maintained and revised (I think, since I didn't see very active participation in Aglet related forums)
JADE supports agent mobility - http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~vaucher/Agents/Jade/Mobility.html
Take a look at Mobility-RPC, it supports code mobility in general, including mobile agents.
