Hi Thomas,

Today probably not, but it was a different story in 2006.

The quality of the Java implementations differs a lot, even when the  
CPU is comparable. There are interpreters, AOT and JIT compilers and  
CPU that understand bytecode as native assembler instructions given a  
spectrum from dead slow to equivalent an 1 GhZ P3. Adding another jar  
for "fast phones" would not be an issue.

Absolutely true. And anyone would have the option to choose the  
playing level.


Something different. Some of the readers of this list are aware that I  
read here too, but I guess the majority is not. When someone thinks  
discussion bgb2go on this list is an abuse of this mailing list, just  
drop me a line.
