The biggest factor in favour of Ajax today is the support of small application developers. Developers who stand to make money from widgets. Widgets which could potentially have a large target audience.
In mobile Ajax, Java ME has a credible option. While Java ME is looking to address some of these drawbacks – I believe that the momentum behind Ajax will lead to the emergence of a virtuous (and disruptive!) cycle which will cause Ajax based mobile applications be a credible alternative to Java ME.
