Well if Java on phone is really fine then Google's pathetic attempts at Android should not matter as billions will keep buying those great Oracle certified Java

  Those versions don't exist anymore because the way Google ripped off Sun and offered a gratis version to OEMs and carriers. Nothing to do with technical capabilities, rather money. And lets not forget that also helped Oracle getting Sun. If it was Microsoft, Apple, <whatever corp> everyone would have bashed them, but it is Google, so it is fine.

    No, those Java phones don't exist because they were a failure. Court documents even revealed that Oracle gave up trying to build one.

      A failure thanks to Google stealing Sun's work. And in any case, market failure is not an excuse to steal someone's else work, by not licensing it like every other company was doing at the time, and still are. Google is the only notable exception.

        Since when is using 38 Java API open source declaration packages considered stealing? It's not except to the people that are upset that Oracle lost repeatedly in court. The courts have spoken. It's time to move on so perhaps you should too.
