There wasn't any cooperation available, unless Google wanted to pay megabucks for Java ME, and force their developer chain to do the same: Java ME was never open sourced. Essentially, Sun said "We will give away Java, Open Source, as we planned to do. Oh, not mobile, because Nokia uses it and it makes us lots of money. Of course, we all understand reimplementing Java ME would be far too much work for any one company to do. Feel free to license." Google said "Eh, we'll just write our own JVM that runs on phones, thanks. That's how we roll over here." Now there are lawsuits, because Sun tried hard to make sure you had to pay if you wanted Java on mobile devices.
