The appeal of RAD Languages like VB and C# is nice because you can make a quick utility for a project or novilty without having to sell your first born child. Only draw back is, as with VB, script kiddies with basic knowledge can go and make viruses. Is this going to pose a threat to the *nix community who is known for it's inability for a quick RAD?
America is shifting from a country to a big company. we no longer do what is right, but rather what is more profitable for "America" (the governemnt). I.E. Open source does not draw in as much money as large corprations do, thus there is a highr lobby to keep coprarations working verses working on new and better technology to inprove mandkind. What we need is to take a tip from our neighbor to the north, people are happier and have access to better tech because Candada isn't appeasing coprations that are hellbent on sucking out ever last dime from consumers (well with the music industry: EX-Consumers) that they can.
I have yet to check the specs, but i assume the phone would have bluetooth built in. so woulden't the wap abilities of the phone make it more suseptable to a hybird of the cellphone virus?

Is there any decent Java IDE's for Linux? I've tried Eclipse 3.0 on Slackware and Slackware-Based College Linux but to no avail.
