Interested in seeing some of the direction Pocket PC development is taking? Richard V. Dragan has an article in the January editon of PC magazine detailing Java's impact on mobile devices and what to expect from .NET when it catches on. According to him, Java has great experience in adapting to other platforms including cell phones and Pocket PCs, however .NET is quickly trying to catch up by copying Java's "write once, run anywhere" slogan.
"Until now, Microsoft's approach to developing for smart mobile devices meant taking native code (typically in C or C++) compiled for specific CPUs and recompiling it for other devices. But the .NET platform borrows a page or two from Java, including support for virtual machines. You no longer have to recompile .NET code for different hardware."
I may be a guinea pig as I've chosen the .NET way, but I'd be anxious to here any Java gurus opinions! Comments?
