probably cause java is the paltform most moblies use so there is more demand.
morphun looked better on the t610,630 etc as the java implimentation was so basic.
on the k700 its better so morphun has gone and i would guess it will disappear in the not to distant furture

Java is certainly more common and more general than Mophun.

There are probably a lot more Java-developers/programmers than Mophun-developers/programmers worldwide.

The main reason is, that mophun game developers need to pay rights to the mophun company. While java is fully free to use.

The same reason why ogg will replace mp3 soon. Every artist who sells there songs via mp3 has to pay royalties to the creators of mp3, while ogg is free to use. (+ better sound for equal filesize)

Yeah... Java is used on a most modern phones, wheres mophun is only used on a small range of phones. Java games etc are only more common because they can be used on most phones, so they will be more popular.

Lemon_ is correct on this one, Java is popular because it is open source and free to distribute so long as the author agrees.

Mophun is a registered distribution company whose games are not for free distribution. Yes, the technology driving them is better, but availability counts for a lot.

Besides, more phones support Java, end of story

The funny thing is that cheaper phones support only mophun, which is more expensive to make, and more expensive phones support java, which is free

The only problem I have with Mophun is the availability of titles. In termi is gameplay Mophun beats Java hands down. Would still like 2 play Splintercell on my phone though.
