I was thinking about doing mobile development but its difficult to find information on the mobile markets (reports by orgs. like Canalys cost thousands and not really useful for an indie like me).

From what I've been able to gather, current market share stands at something like 60% Symbian, and 20% Windows and the rest to others (a large part of which is Linux).

I can't find any good numbers/info on the managed platforms for mobile devices: J2ME & .NET CF. I think Symbian and Linux devices support J2ME? But I can't figure out which of the J2ME Configs & Profiles and optional packages (like MMAPI) are supported in the market.

Anyone know general numbers for these things?

For the .NET CF: From what I understand, the CF itself is just redistributable to the devices? So, people can easily get CF 2.0 on their devices, right? Is there a particular version of Windows Mobile that is required for CF 2.0?
