If it is true that he puts MacOSX in mobile phone, than how is he calling java "big and heavyweight"? This is pure nonsense. My cheap prepaid mobile phone from 4 years ago has a java interpreter in it, but it sure can't run OSX. Even if the iPhone wouldn't run OSX, it still has enough processing power to run all the java one wants. Also, as far as I understood it, java is also way faster than it used to be (also relative to computing power of course) and Steve Jobs is just digging up old cows, as we say in Holland. This smells of dusty old politics and fud-spreading. Another reason why Jobs is talking out of his rear end: on my old pc I can run Jmol in a browser slowly but it works, whereas some of the more heavy stupid flash banners (trying to put whole movie trailers in a flash banner) will fire up the CPU to 100% usage and bring my browser to a halt. That is also a matter of the quality of the programmer, the youtube flash plugin is excellent in that aspect, runs without problems on older machines as well. (to Egon: it couldn't have been anyone from Sun, since otherwise they would have suggested iPhone to work as a light client connecting to some mainframe, as that is the future for many years already now ;) Gotta love Sun, though, they've been doing some pretty good stuff lately, I really hope they manage to survive and get on top this way.) -- greetings, Pim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
