The processing and networking capabilities in today's mobile handsets have the potential to deliver a new class of rich, Internet-enabled content. To allow content creators to tap into this power, Sun Microsystems is bringing JavaFX technology to mobile devices. Moreover, JavaFX Mobile builds on top of the market-leading Java ME platform to take advantage of its powerful, device-level capabilities.
Pairing these two powerful technologies gives content creators a no-holds barred, non-compromising environment in which to express themselves and deliver compelling content out to the market. With the Java ME platform already running on over 2 billion handsets today, Sun is well positioned to establish JavaFX Mobile as the leading technology for rich Internet applications (RIAs) on mobile devices. Best of all, content created with JavaFX technology is capable of running on all the screens of your life. This means people building content based on JavaFX for the desktop, mobile phone, or other consumer devices will be able to deploy their content more broadly than with any other technology.
In addition to developing JavaFX Mobile technology, Sun will work with partners in the mobile ecosystem to build out a complete mobile stack with other layers, including applications and middleware. Providing these other layers will enable content creators to take advantage of even broader system-level functionality to provide a consistent, advanced, and powerful user experience. Naturally, content created for JavaFX Mobile will be fully compatible with this more complete stack to provide a smooth and painless migration path for years to come.
