Just look at applications that are available - quite a few of them
are in Java.

Java is by far the easiest way to develop a GUI application for
Zaurus. And the same application runs on PC.

Maybe the new OPIEdev Live will make C++ way easier but so far
Java rulez.

I want to have PIM programs fully compatible with Evolution - if I can't
modify existing ones - I will write my own in Java - they will
run on both Z and my cell phone.
