J# will rescue Smartphones

WMS (Windows Mobile-based Smartphones) does not have many games and is not doing so well in the consumer market. Game developers prefer Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), becuase it is supported by Symbian and proprietary mobile operating systems. In this market Java == Games, and each mobile phone must have it.

Microsoft has to accept the fact that they entered the mobile market late,and they need a shortcut to keep up with J2ME success. Fortunately, Microsoft has developed
J#.NET, which allows to compile Java source code and run it in .NET. With a small effort, Microsoft could adapt this technology and make hundreds of J2ME games available for Windows Smartphones.
