Android is a curious beast, and its bespoke Java implementation is a tad unfair an example, in my opinion. Let me rhetorically ask: what do you think is more important to developers - PC internet browser support or Android mobile support? > Can Jmol run at the moment on any mobile device (Android?) Undoubtedly some linux mobile devices (and I'm not necessarily talking mobile phones here, more Pocket PC-esque) can run JVM without any issues. Sun's attempting to bring JVM to the iPhone: http://gizmodo.com/365633/sun-to-bring-java-to-the-iphone-via-the-sdk > Given that most seem to accept that larger form factor devices (tablets etc) > based on mobile phone rather than desktop OSs are on their way, the Jmol > community should at least have a view about whether that expansion is closed > to them or not in that area. If we're getting futurist, let's make the prediction even more precise: cloud computing and server-side apps are the way we're headed. In which case, mobile hardware or software limitations will likely be overcome in the next 10 years. Don't you think? Interesting topic you've raised!
