If you like doing dotNet programming, you should come to Asia -- a lot
of development going on for PDAs running Windows Mobile 5. But I think
you will find that resource utilization for dotNet is also quite high.
I've run dotNet applications on my XDA that were really slow. 

I wouldn't say that C# is what Java should have been, though, but that
is my own personal preference. It kind of depends on what you are going
to use the language for, and what your background is. For example, I
like the way that you can build scalability into Java programs using
dispatchers, but I have recently found that Perl and PHP can do it now
too. But that doesn't mean that I will switch to PHP or Perl because I
have almost no experience with either language. 

Having supervised a programming team before, however, I would have to
say: stick with what you are interested in and good at. The technology
doesn't matter as much as your skill at using it.
