[DUG] Delphi on Windows Mobile

[Richard Vowles]

Web OS uses Javascript, not Java.

Android uses the Dalvik virtual machine and Dalvik byte code, not Java -
there just happens to be a Java byte code -> Dalvik mapper and this has been
used on most of the libraries that Android supports. Adobe are coming out
with one for FLash that allows you to develop in Flash and drop a Dalvik app
into Android as well.

Windows mobile 7 (if there are still any phones that support it by the time
it ships) Microsoft are definitely targeting for Silverlight only.
iPhone/iPad - you say Objective-C only, but most of the top games on that
platform are orchestrated by LUA (yet another scripting language) - and
major games creators (such as EA) have already been given the green light
against clause 331. I have heard that Unity3D also has been given the green
light. Monotouch is likely (IMHO) to get exemption as well as it compiles
directly to ARM assembly code yet uses the native widgets (which Adobe does
not, all widgets including buttons and so forth are just drawn Canvases).
