Need to make TCP connections from a mobile device

I am a brand-new comer to the J2ME world. In fact, I complied and run my first MIDLet just yesterday.

I want to write a program to retrive video data from a server and play it in a proprietary player (The vedio is also of a proprietary format). My question is: Is there any convient APIs, through which I can retrive data from the server? Is there any APIs that support making TCP connections from the mobile device, ( I doubt whether I will be implementing my own media transport protocols)? As fewer additional work needed as possible.

Any suggestion or references is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
