Reportedly, Sun Microsystems will today unveil new Java software targeted at developers of mobile devices such as smart phones.
The new software called "JavaFX Mobile" is actually a programming language developed by Sun way back in 1995, carrying the promise, "write once, run anywhere" so that programmers are able to create applications to run on many different PCs.
According to the company, its new "JavaFX Mobile" software will enable carriers and device manufacturers to develop even better applications, with more integration of the Internet and other PC functions for mobile phones.
Rich Green, Executive Vice President, Software, Sun, said that up until a few years back, there were a very small percentage of devices that allowed users to surf the Web, exchange e-mails, read documents, take digital photos, and play music and video. But it's not the same now. The entire network is getting into the hands of the user.
Sun said the new software will be a blend of the existing mobile handset version of Java, and technology from SavaJe Technologies, a Massachusetts-based software developer that Sun acquired only this year.
The software will be offered under an open-source license, allowing developers use and modify it for free, Sun said.
There are also plans to develop future versions of the software for makers of television set-top boxes, navigation devices, and automobile dashboards.
