J2ME shortcoming opens door for Microsoft
ZDNet | at | by Mike
In the war between the world's two biggest platforms, a weakness in one J2ME specification may be opening a window of opportunity for Microsoft that could have a chilling effect on the heat in Java's brew. For evidence of this, look no further than the devices that run the embedded form of something from Microsoft-- PocketPC, Windows CE, or SmartPhone. From one device to the next, Microsoft is doing something that Sun, as well as the device-based counterparts in the Java Community Process (JCP), has thus far failed to do: take almost complete control of the hardware design.
