With Android on the horizon, JME shld be presumed dead! RIP

With the advent of Android, I think we should say bye-bye to J2ME/JME and should be presumed dead for use on cell-phone devices, at least. Android apps are written in java and is compiled into Dalvik bytecode. The Dalvik VM is based on the Apache Harmony implemention and has no relation to the Sun’s libraries.

So if any of you are into JME dev for mobile device, STOP! and move to developing Android apps…fair warning!

That said, iPhone will be a thing of the past in 3 years. It is cumbersome to dev an app for the iPhone because of the difficulties in dev(need a mac, need an acct approved by the Gods and the use of a God-forsaken language ) The only thing setting iPhone apart now is its AppStore. Google has to get up to speed with that plus give two paths for downloading apps..the official tried and tested apps path and a place where cowboy apps can be gotten from.

Go Google & Android.
