On the downside it's slow, very slow. Hopefully it'll be optimised more in the future, but for now I think I might unfortunately have to stick with Java for for mobile development.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://pratyush.net/is-it-prime">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://pratyush.net/is-it-prime#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/prat_c/~4/6mx45zaW6fg" height="1" width="1"/> http://posterous.com/images/profile/missing-user-75.png http://posterous.com/users/ZyEtytaPY7n Pratyush Chalasani Prat Pratyush Chalasani http://pratyush.net/is-it-prime Thu, 12 May 2011 04:23:00 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/prat_c/~3/JNowpl2P-4s/first-post http://pratyush.net/first-post <p> <p>I figured it was about time I jumped on the blog bandwagon.</p> <p>I'm a programmer, so this might mostly be filled with computing related posts.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://pratyush.net/first-post">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://pratyush.net/first-post#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/prat_c/~4/JNowpl2P-4s" height="1" width="1"/> http://posterous.com/images/profile/missing-user-75.png http://posterous.com/users/ZyEtytaPY7n Pratyush Chalasani Prat Pratyush Chalasani http://pratyush.net/first-post
