Sun woos Linux distros with bundle deals
,----[ Quote ]
| The goal is for distros to come with Sun's open source Java Enterprise
| Edition project Glassfish, the NetBeans development framework, and the Java
| Standard Edition project OpenJDK.
|
| Sun is reaching out to Debian, after parts of Glassfish began showing up in
| the distro - Sun would, obviously, like to see all of Glassfish ship with
| Debian.
|
| Sun is also working to build on early work with Ubuntu. As of now, OpenJDK is
| available in the Hardy Heron release of Ubuntu.

Sun continues pursuit of Java for iPhone
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has not been publicly receptive to having Java on its popular new
| device. There have been questions about whether Apple's iPhone SDK agreement
| would permit this. The JVM potentially could sidestep Apple's App Store
| program for dispensing iPhone applications.
|
| Meanwhile, Sun also is working with Innaworks to bring Java applications to
| the iPhone.

Apple doesn't like FOSS (see below), so Sun shouldn't hold its breath.

Forget iPhone, hail OpenMoko, the true revolution
,----[ Quote ]
| ...I would rather wait for OpenMoko to become available for purchase

| product, it is like an awesome looking golden cage. I always
| preferred freedom to control my own digital devices than to be
| mostly dependent on one vendor for everything.
