The CF is so f#cking cool! One of my many beef's with J2ME is the lack of power managment and memory managment API's. Not being able to manage memory for my applications always makes me feel like I'm coding with my hands tied. That article is a really good example of why the CF is spanking the pants of J2ME. You have a choice of how you want to run (managed or unmanaged). You always give developers a choice you don't just say "this is how it is, it's this or nothing". Bill you've seen my wireless app. It may be cool but I would have given my left nut to be able to do that on a CF compatible device, but unfortunately I was only given one device as an option. I do a ton of real time image streaming in that. I could have made it so much faster if I could have used native code and been able to manage memory myself. Then you have the whole super rich UI of the CF. It makes me drool to think about being able to use it. That is a great article so is the article he links out to on how not to fragmenting virtual memory.
