Sorry for my ignorance, but what is slowing the deployment to other handsets -- eg. Nokia 6820. Flash is here today because of ubiquity in the browser space, without similar dispersion I fear that J2ME is going to be only development option for the larger market. I see this as the number one issue for Flash lite. Japan is a great first go, but we (the development community) need wider deployment, fast, and my Nihongo just isn't what is used to be....
