Android is tightly coupled its not liberal like J2ME. Everything is tightly coupled.

J2ME appln are slow as compared to android appln.

No access to low level features. and

android compared to iphone

iphone only in MAC os and in unfriendly objective C as compared to Java

costier than Android so many restriction on user iphone as "walled garden" no support to bluetooth ,video camera,MMS ,porn applicaton and mainly not Open source

Android is only for google phone like openmoko for moko phone. But j2me is for every phone.

I will wait until Android is for every phone then I develop application in Android.

The depressing thing about all of this from my point of view is that we were giving demos very much like the Android demos at SavaJe years ago.

Ah well - Google may have the clout to make it happen for real, which we never did at SavaJe. I'm not counting chickens yet, but there's hope that Android could be the thing that (finally!) kick starts the mobile application bandwagon. Something has to sooner or later!

Just spent a few minutes poking around the layout/ui docs - really like some of the ideas (views, layouts, units, etc) they’ve included. DIP (device independent pixels) is a very interesting concept indeed.

My work with J2ME has been like hell to me. Just from my own point of view: damn uncomfortable technology.
