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.

    For some reason I read "comma" as "coma", which led me to the thought that kdawson might as well be in one for all the use he is.

    At the bottom of the /. main page it says 'Yesterday's News'. Well they got that right.
