Java ME technology entrenched for the long war

Java ME technology is doing well holding off Android and iPhone developers. Here's a survey that shows Java ME still holds a majority (along with .NET CF) as the platform most targeted by developers.

See:

Bam! Bam! Bam! Java ME holds ground

Here's a quote: 

 “But both .Net Compact Framework and 
 Java ME are very strong and well 
 entrenched in the wireless development 
 community, so it’s hard to imagine any 
 competing platform dislodging either 
 of them any time soon.”
Ha! Java ME finds itself entrenched along with .NOT Compact Framework as the top mobile platform for development. I guess everyone is a friend when you're in the same foxhole together. :-)

That's an extremely stupid survey since Java ME can also fall under Symbian, Blackberry and other platforms. You can also tell it's stupid because I have no idea why .NET CF would even be close to Java ME, at least in the real world where about 99% of all mobile apps I see are Java ME.

Hi Airlan,

You make some good points. I wouldn't necessarily use the "S" word to describe their survey though... :-) even if they seem to be inflating the .NOT CF numbers. ;-)
