"Oracle has made Android a target in spite of the fact that Oracle has little or no stake in mobile devices, now or on the horizon" I guess the author never heard of J2ME. One of the reasons why Oracle are up in arms over Android is that it

"But hasn't this already happened?" It's certainly happened in the UK. The iPhone is available on all the major networks (for free on the higher end contracts) and is available unlocked and SIM free from Apple stores. It hasn't hampered And
