Just create one a with a freaking well-documented C++ API. Why Java? It's gonna make shit run slow as hell...]]>Oct 11th 2007 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 11th 2007 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/
A java-based platform (and honestly people, since when has there been a *FAST* phone?) would allow the user to have control over the phone, instead of the carrier. I'd go for one, but I'm afraid I only get a refresh every 2 years w/o shelling out mad cash :(]]>Oct 12th 2007 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 11th 2007 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 11th 2007 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/]]>Oct 12th 2007 12:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 12th 2007 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 13th 2007 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 12th 2007 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/
I would have understood if they had launched initiative to deliver new functionality to mobile market - and Java its enabler.

But right now Java has little or rather no innovative cutting edge features left. Launching "Java phone" is pretty silly.

Any product made after technology - not after market demand - are pretty much destined to fail.]]>Oct 12th 2007 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/Oct 12th 2007 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/samsung-sun-teaming-up-for-java-phone/
You wouldn't understand how much of a difference there is between Java and purely compiled languages unless you are a developer, so I'll sum it up for you:

Java makes you a bubble boy. You assume you are COMPLETELY unaware of the environment you run in, you assume you have as MUCH MEMORY AS YOU NEED, and memory management is AUTOMATED. There is ridiculous amounts of overhead because of that and the bloated system libraries. With C/C++, you'd spend a fraction of the time with very little overhead, you taking care of memory management so you don't freeze the damn phone during garbage collection, and you're fully aware of any resources you do or don't have.]]>Oct 12th 2007 9:09AM
