Java is actually better than Ada for this situation, methinks. The problem
is not programming, but economics. The Java standards for phone games let
you find out all the capabilities of the phone. It's just hard to design
games (in any language) that look good both in B&W text and in 24-bit color
bitmaps. Ada wouldn't change that fact.
