On this note, check out today's announcement. It'll be a while before
it's ready, but I think it's what you're looking for:

Sun, Laszlo take Java into Orbit for devices
AJAX-style platform getting link to mobile environment
By Paul Krill
October 10, 2006
Sun Microsystems and Laszlo Systems are collaborating to enable
applications based on the OpenLaszlo rich Internet development
platform to run on devices running Java Platform ME (Micro Edition).
The collaboration, which is being announced Tuesday, is featured as
part of an effort code-named Project Orbit.
OpenLaszlo uses AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)-style
programming techniques. Currently available in Version 3.3,
OpenLaszlo supports no-download deployment of Web applications on
different client runtime environments. Through extensions to
support Java ME, OpenLaszlo will provide development portability
across Java-based phones, telephone, set-top boxes, and other
devices, Sun and Laszlo said. The companies will bridge
OpenLaszlo’s expressive markup language, LZX, with Java ME.
"OpenLaszlo is an open source development platform for creating
rich Internet applications for connected devices," said David
Temkin, founder and CTO of Laszlo. "What we are doing is we are
collaborating on extending the OpenLaszlo platform so that
developers using OpenLaszlo can create applications not only for
the Web but for the millions of Java mobile devices."
Thus far, OpenLaszlo has enabled production of applications in
areas ranging from the consumer space to enterprise, media,
government, and military applications.
The first demonstrable Project Orbit application running under Java
ME is expected to be released later this year at openLaszlo.org.
Users can contribute to Orbit by registering there.

Hello list,
I'm sure lots of ideas have been thrown around regarding future
deployment
runtimes from Legals, but has anyone suggested blu-ray's java system?
For those that don't know, BD-J is based off of the lighter J2ME
and the java
tv (GEM) material. Anyway, the new system will eventually require much
improved interactivity over the current system (DVD) and Laszlo could
certainly provide that. Additionally, it would offer a mechanism
(of which
very few exist) to simplify development for a cutting edge
platform, as well
as leverage into a solid mobile platform (J2ME proper) with
(hopefully) less
work.
Just a thought to be ignored at will.
Many thanks for the excellent work,
Matt
