It seems hardly a week goes by without some big media brand announcing that they’re launching a YAJP. This week, it’s GMTV, the UK morning TV programme, according to Moco News.
Due to the storage space, these portals are going to be competing with each other to stay on a handset. So, not only is content going to be intensive to instigate, the technical development process will be fraught and expensive, as J2ME is a bitch to deploy across multiple handsets.
The jury’s also out on whether people will actually pay for content which is essentially normally free. I assume that they’re going to be charging for it, anyway.
I think a much better use of Java is to merchandise content, such as ringtones and wallpaper in a navigable way.
