They didn't take off just because SMS was expensive, but because they offer a much better experience with many more features

Good to see companies working together for such things, but that's a weird one at least to me. Neat anyways

The language has nothing to do with what you describe in your last paragraph. There are a lot of reasons what that was happening, and using Java is not one of them. Just the openess of the OS and how it was written was enough to justify such a difference vs a closed OS with a fraction of the possibilities

Also Android is not using just Java, otherwise you would be able to run any normal Java app without "hacks"

Also the native apps look like they are written on Java? Or based on JVM

Java definitely does not suck. There is a reason it runs virtually everywhere, from SIM cards to most servers of the world through Spring

That makes sense. Companies in Greece VERY rarely pay for staff training (and only in technology fields when this happens), the training programs of OAED (Greek ‘Organisation for the Employment of the Workforce') are usually laughably bad, as are the majority of public IEKs (Institutes of Vocational Training), no one wants to invest money in personal improvement when they can barely get by....

Unfortunately, the numbers are very realistic, and very sad...

Important point for Chelsea for their battle for 10th place!

On a serious note, they seem better the last few matches. Maybe they can get a EL spot in the end hopefully

How is performance with modern hardware? Would love to play it again, but I remember having a lot of issues with the PC version a decade ago through steam

Getting lost while hiking is not that extreme though. It could happen to anyone. Or getting in an accident while skiing for example or whatever

I really hoped we would get it on Android as well. You may need it just once in your lifetime but it could be a life or death situation

It won't, but even triple money don't make it any better!

GPU looks super strong, CPU is decent but behing A17 quite a lot. Wonder if we could see games such as RE:4 Remake like on iOS
