Point is, MS has pretty much a monopoly in some areas. Of course Nokia has to "cooperate" in some areas, what do you expect? > > > > In contrast to you, some companies out there might not have > unlimited > human and financial resources to officially support every > single > computer language (like Java) that you currently favor. > > It's not only a language: it's a platform. Thats part of Suns stupid marketing strategy. Its a language and a plattform. C++ is a language. QT is a platform. Oh hell, according to the marketing Java is an OS as well. Well, marketing aside, Java is is pretty good beginners language. The plattform itself is nice (even if it does not offer support for as many languages as .net). Well, might as well get to the point. Both GTK and QT are plattforms which are just as powerfull as Java. The need for Java on Maemo is pretty limited. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
