Mophun is based on c++, so on latest se phones it transformed into full c++ support, so you can play smartphones games, which are times better than java.

java is definitely the future of 3d mobile gaming.
i think since java is a common platform and is free.. it will proliferate.
but.. i guess if mophun is made free, it will do well too! |

Indeed, java is the future, mpns arent to find anywhere. My operator offer some, but i dont wanna pay for fun features, they should be offered for free.

Java is better for me just because its free and its not only for games.

There are LOTS of free java and mophun games, you just should know places where to download. Im already bored with all those downloads the last game i downloaded was solitare on java. C++ rules anyway.

@kr4nc Do you have java on youre phone?
Anyway the reason that java is free and more popular is that there more easy to creat than mophuns. Mophuns are free to if you know the right link

this is only history repeating itself. back when betamax and vhs video recorders came out in the 70s it was betamax that was better quality wise but because the large manufacturers and public got behind vhs because thier machines were smaller, bye bye betamax.

I don't think It's quite a format war. Mophun's business model is not delivering. The fact that the development tools are not freely available has killed them.

reading my post again, it didnt quite come out the way i meant it.
what i meant was if 2/3 years ago the big phone makers got behind mophun instead of java then things may have been different. regardless of how mophun works.
if programmers saw a big enough market then they would see money making potential, so they would pay to make mophun games and hopefully make a profit.
i admit there are a few people who make java games and give them away free but surely the majority are in it for the money. As said before the main drawback of mophun is programmers have to pay for the right to make the games, but if you thought you would make money you would pay!

i always used to think mophun was better when i had my t610, but this was only because the java implementation on the t610 was so bad. Now i have the k700, i can see why java is so much better. Thousands of titles available, as opposed to a handful of mophun titles.

maybe the t630 has good java, or newer firmwares for the t610, but all games i tried on the t610, were either bad, or invalid. Best game i found was pacman.

In java, if author allows they cud give away the game for free. Now even if a mpn developer wants to give it for free, the mophun company wudnt allow it. I wud say java has more future. Mophun is free too if you know where to look. ;-)
