I think you are misjudging the developer market that they (Qualcomm) are
aiming for. It is clearly not the independent developers such as create
official and unofficial imode sites. They are more targeting the carriers,
handset manufacturers, and major application providers such as SAP, Oracle,
etc.
The applications providers would be developing wireless terminals for the
ERP, SCM, etc. products that would be sold as a custom application handset.
Of course, the application developers may be more interested in J2ME
development, as that potentially gives them a wider range of devices for the
development dollar...
