Hi guys,

was wondering, providers like verizons, sprint, att, etc. On their phones, what backend software does it take? Say I want to create a simple game or a application, which language do I need to learn or contract out?

Is it JAVA?

Most of the time it's Java, of course there's a bit of C++ sometimes. Quite rarely I've heard about flash but not much.

For GSM phones, is generally java. For CDMA phones, is Brew (that use C++)

Flash is used only for the animations... beside that it is mainly Java

It depends on which phones you are talking about. Most of the consumer cell phones use Java, as well as Blackberries (they actually have their own API on top of the MIDP specification). Windows Mobile uses Windows Embedded. Apart from that, I'm not quite sure. Usually if you go into the about screen, it will say if it uses Java.

Most modern phones uses the "Java 2 ME platform", and usually utilizing the "Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0" library. Along with a range of other libraries of course...

Most Verizon cell phones (non-pda) use Brew. That way we have to pay outrageous amounts of money for the games instead of being able to transfer them to our phone for free.

definitely java

Java.

Though this might be a good time to check out Android.

that's what I thought as well. As far as deployment, how would that work on a cell phone? How would you load the software on there? Is it open to install like a pocketpc?
