Khanh Le: Yes, of course we can collaborate together.
> What are the similarities and differences?
Khanh Le: In my opinion, there are
similarities:

    * Both projects target at mobile platform
    * Open-source
    * Based on open standards

differences:

    * JVNMobileGIS use Java. MOSS4G is going to use C/C++ (which may be
      more powerful).
    * JVNMobileGIS is platform-independent at the beginning. MOSS4G will
      be developed for Windows CE first.

> Do the projects compete with or complement each other?
Khanh Le: I don't see any competition for now. Two projects should 
complement each other.
