A Bit of a warning

To all those who read this for interesting pieces of software to use. I have a sad announcement I just bought a new phone or to be more specific an old phone. The Sony Ericsson p1i to be exact , much better than the IPhones and Androids of it's day and in my opinion still better at some things. (Hand writing recognition and UI) This means that I may end up writing a quite a bit of software which you won't be able to use, sorry. Unless of course you have a Symbian phone or I use a more cross platform development platform.

Currently the platforms I'm looking into are:

• SDL/C++ 
• My God they ported SDL to everything
• UIQ3/C++ 
• Probably not going to use this unless I can find a way of making use of the UIQ 2 OpenQub GUI builder
• Java ME (Midlets)
• These will run on anything 
• Here is a cool guide to getting them running on your maemo device
• HTML/JavaScript
• This will be interesting as I will only be able to use a fraction of the API that I'm used to having
• PhoneGap
• Apparently early versions of this can run on UIQ
• PyUIQ
• Looks good for prototyping but not sure if it will be very useful
• QT/C++
• Basically QT only relies on the core part of the Symbian OS that both UIQ and S60 symbian phones have in common. So if I get it compiling I should be able to jump into QT creator and develop a nice QT app. Albeit with an older version of QT.
• Emulators
• The P1i has an impressive display of emulators which can all be developed for
• Sega Mega Drive
• Game Boy
• Dos
• C64
• Obviously some of these aren't practical but then again some might be.

Anyway maybe something useful for others will come out of the server side stuff or there's a couple of people who still love UIQ devices out there who will see this post.
