Speaking just for myself, I think BREW's a lot more of a pain to develop &
certify compared to Java development. If I were a foreign developer, I'd do
Java first too - easier to develop & deploy during prototyping/testing
phase.
>kddi commitment to selling java handsets seems to wane by the day
I don't think that is true. KDDI publically stated last year they would stop
producing Java handsets, and then they brought out at least 2 new handsets
by year end, and more handsets were released this year with Java. I think
they are sitting on the fence - see how each platform goes, especially now
their Java implementation has improved in performance (it was genuinely
woefully slow in Phase 2 era).
