Some good stuff happening...
Apparently its harder to design software specific to a system or OS
such as S60 or S40 on Linux machines.
I know that there are a number of porting features such as the use of
J2ME Polish; but that too is very limited (you'll have to hack out
endless hours before you succeed defining a clearly built aplication
for S60 or S40 phones, fragmentation is still a key issue)...
You may say, "J2ME polish" is the deal for Java enabled apps, but,
there's quite a license that goes with J2ME polish (http://www.j2mepolish.org/cms/leftsection/licensing.html
) for commercial applications... and I don't think developers want to
always stay broke!
A lot of the development is still predominantly windows or largely
"broad" i.e. you develop a general solution which won't work unless
fragmented.
But, I am happy that there's such an incentive in Uganda (and East
Africa).. I just hope there's a lot more support with developing SDKs
that will run on a purely Linux or Unix-based machine...
thanks.
