C is fine.  I'm assuming the J2ME crap they're throwing on all of these
various devices come with some kind of standard graphics library, though,
which means it makes sense to target that, than to have dozens of
versions of a program... one for Qt, one for X11, one for SDL, etc.

Thanks for the link.  I'll dig around.
