J2ME VS Android VS iPhone VS Symbian VS Windows CE [closed]

Answer 1

For maximum portability among smartphones, I recommend Javascript, HTML, CSS. It's the only way to run on certain systems you don't mention (such as Palm Pre and Google's ChromeOS), and (with suitable restraint in using advanced features, if you can) it's the one and only way to write your app ONCE and have it run on an incredible variety of platforms. Especially with some server-side support (unless your volumes are huge you can get that for free with Google's App Engine), it's quite a powerful and effective solution for many needs.

Otherwise, you need Objective C and Cocoa for iPhone (excellent technologies, really well supported by Apple esp. if you have a Mac, but won't help for other smartphones AND nothing else besides ObjC or JS will run on the iPhone), etc, etc.

Answer 2

I think iPhone is ruling the hardware and sotfware development,android is interesting but too new,symbiam is dying because Nokia,windows Will survive cause of money with bull€&€& but they will. iPhone is too restrictive and damn expensive but is thecoolest now.Finally i think that for the NeXT 2 years iPhone will reign.

Answer 3

Android would rule the market few years down the line, just because its an open source. No person would want to spend much on apps in future . Iphone till date survives because its trendy to use Iphone(as they say!) because of its UI and people are willing to spend on Iphone apps, so i must say its not far to see a mobile platform(Android) which is trendy, easy to use, free et al.

Answer 4

Take a look at PhoneGap and Appcelerator Titanium if you want to develop for multiple mobile platforms. They both allow you to write programs that run on both Android and iPhone, and PhoneGap also has BlackBerry support. PhoneGap programs are allowed on the Apple App Store, but I'm not sure about Appcelerator Titanium.

Answer 6

Windows CE has tottaly caputed OS market for rugged devices, companys like motorola, intermec, Dolphin (Honeywell).

Plus Windows CE and Windows Mobile has an enterprise grade database platform.

When comes to spending money, companys buy $1000+ plus devices and build real applications on them.... I see Windows CE being around for a long time and the chart above only show smartphones and no other device, Android and CE can be on in TV's, running gaming system or anything eles.
