But Apple doesn't forbid cross-compilation or VMs anymore, so why are
we still talking about it? Just to score "Apple is evil" points?
Secondly, is it really fair to blame the stagnation of Java ME for
fragmentation? The hardware manufacturers and carriers are loath to
have a standard -- any standard -- because that deprives them of a
means of making their products and services distinctive,
Sure, but it's relatively easy to gain the favour of developers when
they are frustrated with the current standards. Let's suppose three
years ago JME was technically like Android is now. That is, far from
being perfect, but people like and enjoy it, and fragmentation issues
are magnitudos smaller than JME. Don't you think that other platform
providers would have had a much harder job to push their stuff?
