Yes. And I say this as someone who's made an admittedly comfortable
living programming with C++ since cfront.

My first-hand experience is that mobile phones in practice are
programmed usually with C, and/or a six, no, seven-year-out-of-date C++
compiler, and/or--just shoot me now--Java.

My guess is that future phones will be running either Linux, in which
case one's options could go far beyond C++ for multi-threaded
programming, or something from Microsoft, in which case they'll be
pushing their CLR.

Why? (Yes, that was rhetorical.)
