hey everyone, do u know where would be a good place to start on how to make cellphone programs? If I already know how to make PC Applications(via C++/Win32..etc) is there a way with .NET that I can make it also run on a cellphone or do you need to code a whole new program? Thanks in advance.

and if possible if you could list what programming language you think is best for programming for cellphones if you could list it I would appreciate it.

I think Java is the lingua franca of cellphone apps [google]

If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0You don't stop playing because you get old; you get old when you stop playing.

What he said. The two major cell phone environments right now are BREW (C/C++) and J2ME (Java). But independant development with BREW is near impossible. So, until you get that job with a cell phone game company, J2ME is the best way to go.

Check the documentation on java.sun.com; they have an excellent J2ME section.

Hmm, Symbian C++ probably bigger platform then BREW. Or will be bigger soon.
