No j2me in sight. Blackberry may now be a dying product but it will be around for probably 10 or more years because of the large company install base currently there. As every phone company is spotting Java ME / CLDC / MIDP is now an awful platform. If they are going to change then fine, but there is still a large number of phones out there and a lot of internal corporate projects work with what they have.

It will be interesting to see if Intel persevere with MeeGo in the phone space now that Nokia have gone. Also will Microsoft put enough marketing into the new Nokia phones to make WP7 a genuine competitor to iOS and Android. Of course phones only become really interesting when they have serious multicore capability to add to the multiprocessors they already have. And 3-D holographic screens will be mandatory. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
