Sun Shines Its Mobile JavaFX
Sun announced its intent to enter the mobile OS market last month. Today they gave a sneak peak at that new OS called JavaFX. Not many details were released but a few tidbits were reinterated. First, JavaFX is based off, wait for it. . . Java and depending on who you ask that could be a bad or good thing. Second, Sun plans on making the SDK for JavaFX open source. That means developers can cost effectively create applications for the new OS and tap into the 5 million devices that already run some form of Java.
No word on when will see the first phones with JavaFX but at first glance, we see they've taken much inspiration from Palm OS and Apple iPhone. Again, that could be a good or bad thing.
