I'm chronicaly disorganised, so having a decent calendaring and task organising application available at all times it useful. Also like to run the occaional emulator and read eBooks. Having a phone and paltop in one package was a natural next step for me.
So I got me one of these[^] Pocket PC phones. The fact that it has built in Wifi so I can use it as a skype handset around the house and in most of central Manchester is pretty nice too.

why is java really slow?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe because it uses an interpreter?

interpreters are slower than compilers?
|
|
|
|

A compiler, interprets the whole program just once (on the developer machine) but an interpreter does it every time you run the program (on the client machine)... that's why its slower.

it's not so compilcated...
you have a code source (plain text) that you compile.
but the java compiler won't create an exe file that is the machine code for you processor.
it generates instead an intermediate language called Byte Code, and it is this byte code that is interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine to generate the appropriate assembly for you processor.
Of course, you will ask : "but, why do we need an intermediate if it becomes slower ?"
good question, but the answer is so pertinent :
"portability" !
effectively, the same program generated in byte code can run either on Windows (whatever plateform), MacOS, Linux, sunOS, etc... without recompiling !!! (the only condition is that a virtual machine must be running to execute a java program  )
hope this help more now ...
cheers,

But Java interpreters do JIT (Just In Time) compiling after the intermediate code is validated...

Well, I can write portable C++ code almost as easy as portable java code  . Though I canno't create portable executables with a non .NET C++ compiler

I think java is not interpreted, its compiled but in run time (JIT). It's like saying that C# is interpreted...

same here
it does some good caching, but when it starts up it is unresponsive as an KC 85/1 with dysfunctional keyboard.

As a member of the Keep Phones Simple campign, I've have no idea what my phone runs on it. It makes and receives phone calls and that's it. And thats all I want a telephone to do.

Don't you use it to send/receive short messages to/from other people? This has actually become our culture here. We send messages more than making phone calls.

Luddite! I have 256 Mb on my phone and I can listen to my music on the go. I have a 1.6 Megapixel digital camera which I thought I would never use, but now gets used all the time, and I can browse the web whenever I wan't, wherever I am. I can use the GPS tracking capability to find ATMs, Restaurants etc., which is still basic, but showing promise.
Oh and I can make Video calls to other people with 3G phones, which is admittedly a bit useless currently as I only know one other person with that capability! But who knows...
So my point is that these services become part of the woodwork very quickly. I bet you were the same person who said years ago that they would never need a mobile phone as they don't go anywhere. Go on, admit it.

I agree. I bought the cheapest phone from Verizon that would both make a call and receive one.
