The devil in Java ME ... and Flash
Flash is the devil is a comical spin on the fact that also Flash Lite has some issues when it comes to compatibility, by not existing in enough phones (read: in way less phones that Java ME).
As I mentioned in Java ME CLDC/MIDP, the choice for mobile widget platforms mobile widget platforms and ditto mobile widgets are in an interesting competitive situation with Flash Lite, which sooner or later Adobe will have to face: By being based on Java ME they can potentially run on many more phones than Flash Lite, as Flash Lite is embedded and not endorsed as broadly as Java ME, the latter being everywhere.
Certainly, making a Java ME based mobile widget platform that's compatible with almost all phones is very far from easy.
