• OS is irrelevant - only the apps matter
  Hmmm...the OS is irrelevant...and Windows mobile is a niche market struggling to gain on Linux and Symbian....have you actually seen all the windows mobile forums with people asking how to install and run Java apps and games?
  
  And windows is SLOW.

  And btw, I'll be able to run Java not only on Palm, Symbian, Linux, and Windows, I'll be able to run it on DVDs too!

• Nokia and Sony smartphones
  I have the Nokia 9300 and it is simply awesome, although i'd wait for the 9300i with Wi-Fi. The screen is an incredible 640 pixels across when you open it, and you can lay it down on a table and type (like a laptop), and store it in your shirt pocket (unlike a laptop).

  You might also want to check out the new Sony smartphones. VERY cool.

  I've heard bad things about the stability of the windows mobiles, and the new one is even slower, so I'd pass on that, unless you like rebooting your phone the way you have to on your PC ;-)

• Java ME support in Palms
  Java ME (J2ME) development is by far the dominant way of getting your point across. In fact, the article is mistaken because MobiTV is in Java ME (don't know whether they have another app that is windows-based, but since Windows mobiles can run Java, I would think not), as is Opera Mini, as is Google local, etc, etc.
  
  I LOVE palms, but their decision not to "go the java route" like the BlackBerry did, and like most other handhelds (Symbian, Windows, Linux) did means they are truly becoming ancient.
