I dont see java becomming a mainstream games platform because of the speed of the virtual machine. Unless the machine ceases to be virtual and gains full hardware support it will carry on needing stupidly fast machines to perform what compiled code can do comfortable on a machine with half the spec. As for API's you can't claim that windoze has a good API, there are still API calls in there from windoze 3.1, and later API (such as the OO one) are just bolt ons on top of the earlier APIs, it's a mess. To see a real API look at BeOS, clean simple and functional. This is what is needed on a smartphone style device.
