Sun wants phones to run J2SE
We are not quite there yet though. Consider for instance that J2SE embedded supposedly takes 25 MB when most UI parts are taken out. What if e.g. Swing was in place, plus an advanced OS and embedded applications on top of that?
Sun hasn't been as committed to J2ME as it has to J2SE and J2EE, not the least evidenced by the fact that Sun delivers its own ready-to-run J2SE and J2EE solutions, but not so with J2ME (where third-party like Aplix, Esmertec and others provide that).
Existing phones are using J2ME/MIDP, so that's the market to go after for mobile applications when talking 2006 and probably also 2007, whatever Sun and others might think about lack of functionality, plethora of dialects and the like. Actually this can be a competitive advantage for those that actually know how to navigate past those issues.
Sun aims "standard" Java at embedded apps
