The immense growth of mobile technologies permitted user to capture and store the multimedia files on mobile devices. It has become the hectic work for user to find a particular file of interest from huge file system of low end mobile device. In this paper we have introduced semantic file annotation technique for automatic annotation of files in mobile device. The searching and retrieval of a file from low end mobile device is based on annotation. Semantic file annotations are the meaningful comments we may apply to describe, illuminate, and remark about any multimedia file in our mobile device. Annotation are metadata, added to the files such as image, audio and video, which makes us easier to search and retrieve files quickly from our mobile phone or from PAN (Personal Area Network) with the help of Bluetooth.

Keywords: Annotation, J2ME, PAN, Bluetooth, XML, KXML, Mobile, Searching, Retrieving, multimedia files.
