Sun co-founder (right) hands-off the keys of his company to Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison
It was quite an emotional moment when Sun’s co-founder passed on the keys of his company to Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.
Now Java is all Oracle’s, which includes Java the language, Java the platform (virtual machines, APIs), the newly announced JavaStore (for desktop apps only), JavaFX (a graphical user interface for Java programs), Netbeans (a rising development platform) and Glassfish, an open source application server and direct competitor to RedHat’s JBoss.
At the show, Sun also announced it’s upcoming Sun Cloud which should be released incrementally throughout Summer.
I just can’t help to think that Ellison made quite a deal buying a $14 billion-revenue company for half that, at only $7.4 billion. Can’t beat that!
Just purchased a Mythic for myself and will be obtaining a single for my wife soon! It has just the correct mix of attributes. just short of the full smartphone. I’m keeping an eye around the Captivate for any potential future mobile phone..
.prices are way as well great when released. I’ve been in substantial tech for 20+ many years and fundamentally hack almost everything I personal to produce it superior laptops, GPS, car navigation techniques, etc. and yes cell phones as well. From the number of days I’ve owned the mobile phone I’ve currently installed Opera Mini, Bolt 2.1, freecaddie, Google Maps w/GPS functionality, deleted all locked useless apps right after backing them up and completely modified the menu system to my exact wants with no all ineffective apps.
