Honestly, I'm confused too.  The specs are quite voluminous and I only
started reading them now.  I have spent almost a couple of weeks
looking for the right combination of software to no avail :(

I intend to transcribe my JPEG data into h.263, package it inside a
3gp container then stream it using rtp

It can play 3gp rtp streams.  I'm not sure if it can also play raw
h.263 rtp streams without me subclassing anything

Here's the complete text from one of my references:
"Mobile Media API (MMAPI) (JSR-135) gives developers access to the
native file-based multimedia
services available on Series 80 Developer Platform 2.0 devices,
including audio in WAV, AMR, AMR WB,
MP3, and RA formats, as well as video in MPEG-4, H.263, 3GPP, and RV
formats. The specification also supports still images captured from
the camera."
