What JVMs are available for PocketPC devices?

This is probably the most popular question and biggest barrier for Java on PocketPC. The answer is simple: use IBM’s J9 JVM or NSICOM’s CrEme JVM. There are several other JVMs on the market, but they all suffer from these problems: not supported anymore (Sun’s PersonalJava), not fully Java compatible (SuperWaba), not fully Java compatible (EWE), on sale to OEMs only (Esmertec JBed, formerly Insignia Jeode), or out of date (Insignia Jeode). The pricing options for IBM’s J9 JVM are very good at $5.99/each and discounts for bulk. If you are an individual developer, this is for you. NSICOM’s Creme JVM has a free trial download, plus they sell a developer license of 40 units for $1000, and also offer discounts for bulk. IBM J9 can be purchased from Handango for $5.99, and NSICOM Creme can be purchased directly from NSICOM.
