You sound love non-MS products !!
but what i can say, baby, about the development tool WINNER: is it true or what !!? am i readin fake articles or what ?? bro, Visual Studio 2005 is takin down Sun's JBuilder, and as i have been working previously with J2ME, i can also say it has a soo limited abilities concerning web services interop and com+ marshaling !! which is already provided on a "golden-plate" from MS VS 2005!!
and yet, Windows Mobile 5.0 is the award winning mobile OS in year 2005 !! what's that mean !! I'm seing entry for it on your list !!

aham, JBuilder aint sun's by the way ;)
its Borlands... I never used actually, I use Sun Enterprise, Sun Creator, and the open source community projects Netbeans and Eclipse.... Oracle's JDeveloper is also there.

Visual Studio is great if you'd ask me, but the express version (the Legal stuff that i can afford) are LOUSY!

about J2ME , try Netbeans Mobility 5.0 .... the biggest j2me application can be built within 15-20 minutes with complete graphics rapping even and dedicated device components from what ever vendor libraries you add (Nokia's , Motorola's ... etc)
