"Other findings from the in-depth survey of almost 400 wireless developers
worldwide include:

    * Almost two-thirds (60.5%) of wireless developers plan to be using open
source or Linux-specific tools to build applications for mobile devices in
the next year.
    * Application runtime environment is the first consideration when
choosing a wireless target platform for 44% of wireless developers - almost
three times as many as first consider any other factor - including device,
operating system, computer language, etc.
    * Java ME is the leading wireless runtime environment."
