Darn, I forgot to list it. I won't add it now though, as it would not be fair. There is an Other option for what is worth. If Other gets a huge number of votes, we'll know that options such as J2ME and others have a somewhat large market share among HNers, and it's not all about Android and iOS.

It's only an hour old - it's not as if this is precise science in any event. Phones with J2ME are very, very widespread. Granted, they don't do much, and are not the future, but it's probably still an interesting space for the right kind of niche product.

Yeah, give it time. It usually takes the BlackBerry people a few years to catch up to the present.

Oh! How is it?

A limited version of Java 1.4, the UI set is custom build, Writing a kindlet bit similar to writing an old fashioned applet. Limited memory/processing power though, but you can do fun some stuff, but the eInk slow refresh rates is the largest limitation.

There is no functional app store, right? There is an app I'd make on Kindle if the distribution channel works. Now I'll make it for iPad and maybe Android tablets.

It's like turning a real page! :)
