Originally posted by RealNC View PostNo, it didn't. It's just a language. We're talking about the GUI and other APIs here. For example, a Java application you wrote for a non-Android device will not run on Android, because there you have to use the Android API.
Also, Java is full-blown platform, where MONO is just bugtesting for .net. It is so much better other write code for Microsoft for free than to hire indian or chinese guys for rice, no? MONO is modern outsourcing strategy from Microsoft. Why would .net then still exist?

It runs on iOS - if Apple allows it to run. Same with Mono/Net @ iOS4+.
Im not specialist in sorts of sh*t, but at least Oracle does offer much more opensource solutions and input.

We *finally* have a language that runs on all handsets and desktops. It's a first, it rocks and it's somehow considered... a bad thing?
In other words, what the hell are you smoking?

Well, Miguel has a product to sell. So unsurprisingly he grabs every opportunity to pitch his product. I doubt it will succeed though. Most Android users are not waiting for Mono or Qt or whatever cross-platform mobile solution. Perhaps some developers are, but good luck competing with all the Java devs out there. So far C#/Mono's cross-platform marketing blah-blah has been unconvincing and C# has failed to catch on on anything but MS platform.

Its just far cry compared to MS behavior. Imagine Android use .net or mono! There won't be android right now!

However as a J2ME developer there are two good ways to develop iPhone applications using Java / J2ME. Read below for details and also to know how you can upload, compile and run Java applications on iPhone.

Sun was selling cut-down but working version of StarOffice for decades (OOo).
Oracle decided to control the whole even more, by preventing various "Editions" like Go-OOo, InfraOOo etc and hence sell more copies of StarOffice.
People disagreed and Oracle did not prevent them even a bit to fork it into LibreOffice.
Now, what can you say about Microsoft? A free copy of Word? Possibly without Ads? How about setting something proprietary as standard and providing no free editor so everyone is FORCED to by from Microsoft? Same show they do with DirectX now. You're fun of slavery or I misunderstand something?
