Java ME Platform: It's not just a noun--it's a verb!

Gameloft has decided to use the word "platform" as a verb where the new Java ME mobile game, CSI, is concerned.

See:

CSI Mobile: Turning the Java ME platform to a verb

Here's a quote: 

 “This is a new quality level of 
 cross-platform development. By 
 involving Anthony Zuiker, the 
 creator of CSI, directly in the 
 mobile game development, we will 
 create much more than just a 
 ‘brand extension’ of the CSI 
 franchise. This is what we call 
 true ‘platforming’ of content,”

That's cool. Grammarians are turning over in their grave, but if someone wants to turn the Java ME platform into a verb, who are we to be badding them. :-)
