There’s an interesting news item at News.com: Java hits obstacle with cell phones. It discusses the usage of Java Applications on cellphones and especially why it is not a success yet. I’ll give you just one quote, the one that I like the most, the rest speaks for itself but can also be read in the article 😉

“Others say that if Java does not fulfill its promise soon, there is no shortage of alternatives. Qualcomm recently unveiled the first major upgrade of its Brew technology, and phones are now appearing with Macromedia’s Flash technology, which has the benefits of automatically scaling graphics and text to any size of screen. It is compact, they say, and well-established–with many thousands of games already available.“
