Best Platform For Hobbyist Mobile Development?

Posted by kdawson on from the joy-of-programming dept.

An anonymous reader notes a blog entry, possibly his own, comparing and evaluating 8 mobile platforms from the point of view of their suitability for a hobbyist programmer. Covered are iPhone, Java ME, Windows Mobile, Linux, Palm, Brew, Symbian, and Blackberry. The writer seems open-minded and is a strong fan of free software, but he gives the edge to Windows Mobile for this class of developer.

    How about openmoko. That way your fruits might actually matter with or without consent by Uber Whore Steve Jobs. In conclusion, I want easy wifi video conferencing, for free where free wifi is available.

    Thank You,
