Java ME technology use in Africa growing

Java ME technology use is growing in Africa. Makes sense since people in Africa use their Java ME tech-enabled cell phones more than landline phones.

See:

Java ME growing in Africa

Here's a quote: 

 Sources show a huge upside to 
 subscriber growth in Africa, with 
 a US$429 billion market willing 
 to spend on mobile services (2007)
 ...  Additionally, in South 
 Africa, for example, over 76 
 percent of the population relies 
 on mobile telephones, versus 9.2 
 percent on fixed landlines...

 The Java technology installed base 
 is projected to surpass North 
 American numbers by 2010.
That's great to know the Java ME app you are writing will run everywhere, including Africa.
