Whether its a million, billion or gazillion devices don't tell the whole popularity story but I can understand this is a desirable spin for Sun. Pointing out that Google also targets J2SE doesn't prove much, given that they are also more than willing to make Obj-C clients for the iPhone and other non-J2ME devices. Google is just like that, they go after the marked and tries to win the hart of users regardless of underlying technology. With your billion I assume you refer primarily to Nokia/Symbian devices, well if Sun wish to continue using that as a pitch, they might be in for a surprise given what's stirring up in the Symbian Foundation: http://blog.symbian.org/2009/05/ /Casper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
