Or maybe if Sun showed some promise with J2ME and tried to challenge iOS it would have been main iOS competitor instead of Android. But J2ME did not deliver much and the idea to grab some bullshit patents revenue, which Oracle tried, failed.
In copyright case Oracle may still get some money but after belatedly joining CNCF Oracle would not like to be on warpath with Google.
- pjmlp 9y agoJ2ME was doing perfectly fine in Nokia and Sony-Ericson devices, and we already had SavaJe OS when Android happened. Android fragmentation, OEM customizations, lack of enforced updates and cheapo unresponsive 100 € devices are no better than the devices that gave bad name to J2ME.
