Fair enough.

 You did not read closely enough. I never -said- Android was a JME
 platform. Rather, I said that BlackBerry was a JME platform, and that
 Android used the Java language, NOT the platform.

 And yes, a JME app written for one phone has a good chance of failing
 on another JME phone, which is why people say that Sun's promise of
 write once, anywhere has become (at least for JME) write once,
 debug everywhere;)

well, jokes apart, I really think you're on the wrong forum.
 
As far as I know, BlackBerry supports .cod files and it won't
understand what an APK file is.
 
secondly, if it the code inside the APK file uses the SDK made for
android and BlackBerry won't know anything about it.
so it won't work.

2010-09-17 Thread Frank Weiss
Daring to go OT, I'm wondering if Android is the JME killer. As mentioned by
the previous poster, JME is not all that WORA (write once run anaywhere).
Aside from layout and some other issues, Android looks like it is the
closest yet. Thoughts?
