The mobile one? As you said above, Android is pretty much the only game in town if you want to write Java for mobile devices now. > And of > course Google never did so, but that hasn't stopped the market from > getting confused into thinking Android is a Java implementation.

I have yet to come across any complaints from developers that "Android is not real Java because x or y doesn't work". -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
