Just purchased a Mythic for myself and will be receiving a single for my wife soon! It has just the correct mix of attributes. just short of the total smartphone. I’m maintaining an eye within the Captivate for a prospective long term cell phone..
.prices are way too great when released. I’ve been in great tech for 20+ years and fundamentally hack every thing I personal to produce it greater laptops, GPS, vehicle navigation techniques, etc. and yes cell phones too. In the few days I’ve owned the cell phone I’ve by now set up Opera Mini, Bolt 2.1, freecaddie, Google Maps w/GPS functionality, deleted all locked ineffective apps immediately after backing them up and completely modified the menu technique to my exact needs with no all ineffective apps.

@Bryan, Yes you are right, technically they are different. Once take the source and the other the java bytecode. Now, at the high level, same concept, allow Java developers to program in java and automatically port the code/bytecode to other runtime (without Java VM).

About JavaFX, does not matter, it is dead now.

I know this post is nearly a year old now, but I didn’t see this pointed out in the comments, so I thought I’d add it: Point 4 is not strictly true. Android doesn’t compile Java source to dalvik. It compiles Java class files to dalvik. This makes it very UNLIKE GWT which parses Java source code and generates JavaScript. Unlike GWT, Android can support languages other than Java as long as they generate byte code. That said, if its anything like trying to run a Scala app, it may not be worth the trouble.

It makes me wonder how that Sun demo from 2008 was done. At the time, I assumed Android ran JavaME, but I’m guessing now that wasn’t the case. It was a little deceptive of them not to explain at the time.

I am also facing the problem with Java in my iPhone. I think we have to setup VM first and then try to install it.

Btw, just so you know, the number one mobile browser in the world is a Java ME app, called Opera Mini. This runs on almost any cellphone, and is one of the most successful J2ME apps out there.

Actually, Java ME is on most devices in the world. The problem is that here in the US most people focus on Blackberry (which has a compatible Java ME environment so J2ME apps do run on it) and iPhone, while outside the US, and especially in Asia, most apps are actually Java ME and run on the Nokias, Sony’s, etc in those countries.

Also, since people write in Java for the Google Android environment, one could say that IS Java, or at least Java compatible. I don’t care about the “brand”, simply the programming environment, as do all developers.

If you say that there is no Java VM going with an iPhone – how do I install Java apps on it? I’ve read about many people who do it.
Do I have to find and setup a Java VM first, and only then I may install java on the device?

And you can find out what phones or other mobile devices are running Android OS? Phones that are running Linux of course not, but linux is linux, it works even on mobile devices, I think that the phones with the Android OS will be as reliable!

J2ME is on all/most nokia, sony ericsson, samsung, lg, motorola, blackberry, … that would give it a 75%-80% worldwide market share. So its the no 1 platform for developing on it games, business apps, …

Most small devices (such as phones, including Android) are based on ARM. A now mandatory part of the ARM architecture is hardware based Java bytecode interpretor.

This means Ellison was right. On small platforms, Java is more or less ubiquitous.

While JavaFX doesn’t run on all the current phones that have Java installed (which is simply because they have no update mechanism built in and that J2ME has been quite fragmented which has led to all sorts of problems – as Bob pointed out), I would expect to see it starting to appear on devices (such as Nokia’s and Blackberry’s) over the next year or so.
