cell phone programming

how do i write programs for cell phones?

ENTERPRISE LEVEL JAVA MY FRIEND

LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL NEED SOME GETINSTANCEBYFACTORYFACTORIES AND SINGLETONFACTORYCONSUMERSINGLETONDOUBLETONTRIPLETONFACTORYFACTORIES

windows mobile is a pretty easy platform to build on. all you need is visual studio and a phone. you can code in c#, debug from the computer.  the library includes sockets, encryption, globalization, threading, access to lower levels of the phone.  and support is pretty good in the compact framework forums. dont' need to pay for distribution licenses or any of that shit. DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS am i rite?

visual studio is good for smart phones and pocket pc, i'd like to progrm for phones like my Nokia 6280. how do i do that?

How could you possibly know that for sure, when it is rather obvious that you are clueless when it comes to "progrmming".

i dont. but i think so because if you got to vidual tudio 2005
new project=>smart devices you got pocket pc. smart phone and windows ce 5.0  my nokia 6280 is non of them so im guessing that it wont work for me. but if im wrong then correct me and tell me what do i need to do instead of being useless.

why does everyone who wants to do programming always start out on the hardest possible path to create something useful fast.  instead of using .net with all the libraries there ready to build whatever I want... I think I'll use gcc instead, pull random libraries from all over the internet, build something for linux which nobody else has except you. usually people get bored and give up before they've finished getting all the pieces together.

Java is probably your best bet

you should check out jamtris, an open source java tetris game for cell phones

So this is probably one of the few instances in which Java is not fail? Makes sense, it's not as if all phones had the same hardware.

>>10

It still fails. It's just the VM that is useful.

>>11
to be honest im surprised the vm can even run on mobile phones, the fucking thing reserves so much ram for itself, fucking hogging the system resources, it allocates ~250MB on my machine

>>12
It's a bit different on a phone than on a pc because the hardware on mobile phones is designed specifically to run java.

>>13
i should of expected that, damn

Carmack: "I generally like developing for BREW a lot better, I feel much more directly in touch with it. It doesn't have stupid abstractions that Java does. No doubt about it, Java is not a good platform for resource-intensive programming.
