BlackBerry J2ME vs HTML Javascript framework like PhoneGap?

If you are comfortable with Java Swing or other Java UI programming then going with native is probably a great idea If you are more comfortable with HTML, JavaScript and CSS then use PhoneGap. If you are planning on deploying your application to more than one platform then definitely use PhoneGap. PhoneGap also allows you to write native BlackBerry Java code and integrate that with the HTML / JS code in case the specific APIs you need are not exposed With the imminent release of BlackBerry OS 6 things should get a lot better on that platform for both PhoneGap (since the browser is now WebKit based) and for native Java programming There are many other comparisons between PhoneGap and X on stackoverflow, though most other cross platform frameworks don't support BlackBerry.

J2ME: Blackberry supports this (and is fact still the BB's core), however it's a rapidly aging platform. You can't do many interesting things in BB without the proprietary APIs. Phonegap: Haven't used it myself but I've heard so-so things about it.

Lowest-common-denominator etc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
