Sun plans java version for cellphones

Sun Microsystems plans to revamp its Java softwarein an effort to compete more effectively in the fast-growing market for Internet-connected mobile phones.(NewYorkTimes)
Sun Microsystems, the original developer os Java, has always had a lead in javarelated things. Just think about their Java desktop for example. Probably a great product, but they will never market it as the desktop market is overloaded as it is. But that doesn't mean they're out of it. A proper java platform for modern mobile devices is no luxury, as the current versions are crappy, depending on the brand and model of mobile device you own. For each platform there's a different version, making software unavailable for certain platforms as some are simply incompatible. Stupid, as java was supposed to be platform independant.
In other words, this could be big ! We better watch Sun all the way !
