Canadian thoughts on the future of mobile
'Future of the Industry' lists 5 predictions where I found 'J2ME will grow slowly but Flash Lite will become very popular' to be the most thought-provoking.
Java ME already dominates, so deployments can't grow much faster than the production and sales of new phones, while Flash Lite is starting from a lower level, but that of course doesn't say anything about the usage volume and increase of those platforms. Java ME also dominates in the amount of games/applications and the overall usage.
The thought that operators might broadly endorse Flash Lite is an interesting one, and slightly controversial, as Flash Lite is so tightly controlled by Adobe. The benefit of the tight control is on the other hand cross-phone compatibility.
A great blog overall, with good coverage of CeBit.
