Too Complex (Score 5, Insightful)

I hate to sound like a VB programmer here, but I think part of the problem with all these Java API's, VM's, etc. for mobile platforms is that they are too complex. When the MIDP and the kvm first came out for Palm, I just at it, but was quickly frustrated by the complexity of creating an application and the limited number of controls.

I shouldn't need a book to create Java applications for a mobile device. I should need a two page cheat-sheet that maps "mobile" concepts to core Java/Swing concepts.

BTW, I did finally get my Palm program working by using Waba (http://www.wabasoft.com), which I thought was far superior to what Sun was putting out.
