QuirksBlog: The Java ME nonsense story →
Peter-Paul Koch:
Earlier this week Net Market Share released numbers that allegedly show the Java ME operating system is gaining ground at the expense of iOS and especially Android. Unfortunately the story isn’t true, and I suspect it’s a good example of headline grabbing aimed at those who don’t have deep knowledge of mobile browsing statistics, a group that seems to include the entire tech blogging caste.
I know I don’t have deep knowledge of mobile browsing statistics, but I knew enough about where Java ME is actually deployed—i.e., not on any smart phone operating system that’s gaining market share by any other measure—to suspect this was bullshit.
