And it's a shame... I wrote a game on the PocketPC platform (PocketGriddler), which I first programmed in Java (on my PC).
Then, I realized that no user-friendly Java VM existed on the PPC platform.
So I ported the whole game to C# and .Net, which means that it's awfully heavy to install (this .Net Compact Framework is not at all compact), and that it is not portable at all (e.g. on an Apple or Linux machine).
Now that the J9 VM is finally released, I may consider porting PocketGriddler back to where it should have stayed : the Java world ;)
