I've been trying to figure that out. I've been looking at windows mobile, actually. As unsexy as it is, the barrier to entry is pretty low, the development tools are fairly mature, and the platform is in a lot of phones. JME seems fragmented. JavaFX feels like vaporware, or at least wait-and-see-ware. IPhone is the other obvious option, and would probably follow on the windows mobile version pretty quickly. However, the choice is coming down to the fact that I have a windows mobile phone, and C# seems easier to pick up than Objective-C. That, and you don't need to deal with the "store". On top of that, there was mention of either a 3rd party selling a tool to convert java to native IPhone code, and of Sun implementing something on the IPhone. I'd rather work on the winmo version and let that play out for a couple months and see where its going.
I was going to put a lot of effort into the round two of this contest, but I've mentioned ad nauseam my issues with the testing process. Dan M basically said to hold on and all will be explained, or whatever, so I wait. From what I've seen, though, it doesn't appear that the judges reviewed the apps very much, which would make round 2 a dubious venture. I haven't looked at server activity in a few days, though. Since Monday. I'd rather wait for word than check it every 5 minutes and not see anything (which is depressing).
