I have to hand in my EWT (Emerging Web Tech) assignment tomorrow.
Part of the assessment is a look at Development platforms in the mobile space. Until recently native was a dirty word as it usually involved device specific C code. Java has always been fairly popular, but i've always dismissed it for it's non native look and feel.
However, after exploring java ME some more i can see why it appeals to many developers.
The Hello world application is fairly simplistic compared to iPhone, Andriod and especially symbian equivalents.
But we all know that it doesn't hold a candle to the Palm Pre. I would demostrate how amazing the Palm Pre is, however i don't have one yet!
Now if i could just work out how to install the thing in OSX we might be on to a winner!
Lastly the 3 iteration of the iPhone SDK was released today. It's good to see apple can still pull some magic out of the hat. I call it magic, because only in the world of apple can cut and paste be termed as a feature on a smartphone in 2009. FYI i've been cutting and pasting on my E61 for 2 years!
