Subject: Re: Final SDK build available (84853); deadline extended to Tuesday, August 5?????
Not that Apple is that much better. No Java, no plans for it. They are
way ahead in terms of hardware and SDK stability, but Objective C is platform specific and much harder to use than Java. Every cellphone maker wants to control the market and keep the app market open to themselves and their partners. They're all terrified that what happened to IBM in the PC market will happen to them. Some day a cellphone platform will come along that enables real application development on a stable platform available from multiple manufacturers. (That's what I'd hoped Android was.) Then the market will really take off. Until then, we're stuck with fragmentation, like PC app developers before Microsoft crushed everybody.
