This is not bullsh*t, it *is* available, but only to a selected group.
I have sent my application again. And please note: MANY SDKs for Java, some of them also in beta, are available both without any password or just with simple registration, without the need to answer 1000 questions about your servility to microsoft...
8) take it easy Marlof. I will try whenever I will be able to try it. For now I cannot say much more because I have to try it MYSELF. I will and I will put my opinions on my site (see below).
They spend millions to grab mass market share to beat Palm, and then they get comfortable, and backburn, with a scorched earth policy for enthusiasts and community programs and outreach
so, Microsoft lovers, prepare for scorched earth...
Come on, I figure Yoda is your guru. In his style: do not speak when you do not know. That Register article has more facts wrong than right. And you quote an 'unnamed' source quoted by a 'journalist' who doesn't stick to hard facts but offers speculation as facts, and on some points clearly shows he does not know what he's talking about. On that you base your opinion on Microsoft? I had you figured as someone a bit more clever... As with most The Register articles: it may be a fun read, but don't take it too serious.
Next to that, I did not talk about the company as a whole, but - and you know that - about your claim that Java SDKs are an easy download. I simply pointed out to you that Mobile Devices SDKs mostly are too. In that, Microsoft is not that different.
I agree with you, let's take it easy, and let's get back to the topic of this thread: Would you like games like Pac-Man on your Smartphone 2002.

Of course I quoted the register only for the sake of fun. I proposed them news eXchange but was kind of laughed out, that they are THAT serious news service. They are not very serious, and also not so accurate indeed.
Back to topic: of course EVERYBODY would like to see maximum number of games for Shmartphoney !!! Color screen and built-in connectivity are good points. That particularly excites ME is the built-in bluetooth: just imagine playing pacman (or is it legal to call it pacman if it is some clone of it) with your friend over bluetooth - no need to pay to network operators, no problems with network latency (ask GPRS users) and what a fun!!!!
I propose even that you will create on this very site (pocket pc thoughts) some billboard with list of wish-games for shmarphoney so that people could vote what they want most...
As a startup game development company with our first multiplayer game called Sykotoy recently launched online, we are now looking at porting the interface to wireless platforms so we can license the game for wireless network publication.
We plan on making the game available for wireless pocket pcs as soon as macromedia release the upgraded Flash player for that platform. However one of the constant bugbears smartphone interface developers face is the multitude of different screen sizes/colors/resolutions across all the different devices. Presently the interface to our game is in Flash which is great because of the screen scalability and we are presently looking for a wireless partner with a platform that will allow us to keep the game interface in Flash. If anyone knows of a smartphone platform that is rumoured to support flash I'd be very interested to hear about it! =80)
JPZR you talk about servility look at yourself get down on your knees to the Java god's,talk about servility. Blind passion is just that blind....at least i am willing to admit Java has a place in the phone market and can see the benefit of having both java and smartphone on one device you on the other hand are blind to leveraging the system to your benefit, face it MS owns a huge chunk of everything may as well use it to your advantage to make your life easier rather than swim upstream. Just admit that there is a place for smartphone and java both.
Just admit that there is a place for smartphone and java both.
yes, I admit! java targetting smaller phones, dumb phones and smartphones prefering rather native programs...
(I have just seen market reports showing number related to Java - and that is why I was saying so, not because it is my god, or something, check among others http://wirelesssoftware.info/more.php?&Prod=23 if you don't believe me that I have sometimes various opinions on it)
