When hobbyists go mobile
Note that Vivek Jishtu the author doesn't necessarily select the commercially most relevant platform (which Windows Mobile is far from). He still admits that Java ME is the choice for volume deployment.
That doesn't mean Java ME is always the best choice even commercially. If you develop games it certainly is, but if you make premium business etc applications it likely isn't, in part because the applicable phones also run Symbian OS or Windows Mobile that are much more powerful platforms than Java ME. An exception is the Blackberry that supports Java ME.
