Java Is Far From Dead

Posted by on Jun 1, 2009 | 8 Comments

There should be an image here!Any thoughts of Java being killed off or toned down have been snuffed out recently as Oracle has made it clear that they intend to provide heavy investment into Java technology. And believe me, this is important on many fronts.

So while Sun’s hardware business seems to be pretty much up in the air, it appears that there is no question that Java is going no where but up. It’s safe and then some.

Java netbooks. Man, it seems like everything these days is about netbooks in one form or another. And if Oracle decides to go through the process of bringing Java to the netbook realm, we might see yet another option in an already crowded market place.

    This just seems typical to me a company decides they no longer want to sell to the average consumer because it just is to much work and why on earth would a company want to sell anything to an individual when a large corporation might buy 100+ at a time? (sarcasm is hard to convey in text).

    I just can not get over why they bought Palm if they intended to abandon consumer level products in the first place, At least some other consumer focused company could have bought Palm and made it better.

    I did get one of the 32gig units last week (tiger direct listing) and had it jail broke within an hour and tweaked with some suggestions from different websites.  The touch pad is not that bad.  I bought with the same intent.  If/when android is available (it’s not looking far off).  OR as a pad for my soon to be 4yr old v daddy’s $800 iPad

    Another bad move in a series of bad moves by HP. At some level, I kind of like the fact that they are putting their employees first. It seems that HP has been shafting their employees quite a bit as of late. However, the whole Touchpad fiasco has been pretty much an insult to customers who have been trying to get their hands on them. As soon as HP began collecting names of customers looking for the Touchpad in the future, they should have made sure to try to deliver product to these customers.

    As for the Touchpad itself? I actually like it quote a bit. I wouldn’t replace it with Android because 1) I already have an Android tablet and 2) I like webOS for some of its unique UI features. This way I can play around with 2 operating systems.

    CyanogenMod is working on getting Android on to the TouchPad, it looks like they already released a somewhat usable version already.

    Yep, I agree with you… HP is on the verge of melt down… It is only a matter of time now. The company direction is way of course, and who knows what will happen next.

    So pretty much the consumer won’t be able to get any because the employees will buy them and put them on ebay for a profit. WTH. They should have done that the first time. It’s sucks people who are unemployed and can actually afford that won’t be able to get one but the HP employees who are working will be able to. My husband is overseas in the US Navy and would help me so much. After this people will not buy HP anymore, I know I’ll tell my husband to tell his buddies.M

    Wow, Ron, you are a baby. The employees were limited to 1 per person. There are more coming later this month.
