JavaFX Mobile demoed on HTC Touch Diamond
JavaFX is an initiative by Sun to delivering rich Internet applications that can run across wide variety of connected devices. The current release (JavaFX 1.2, June 2009) enables building applications for desktop, browser and mobile phones.
Sun has recently demonstrated the new technology running on the HTC Touch Diamond, and has been selling the phone for around $200 at its JAVOne conference pre-installed with its JavaFX Mobile run-time.
This demo shows a simple touch-enabled app, but the phone comes with 4 other simple applications.
JavaFX hold the promise of simple dragging a web-page-based Java app from your browser onto your desktop and then being able to use it an an independent application. The run time has not yet been released by Sub yet, but I expect with a few hundred developers having their hands on these phones the can will be floating around pretty soon.

without a doubt – most of the video was taken up launching the c**p and then after all that the actually demo app was dull… yawn…java is dead.

Nice demo!
Would like to see more working demos…
P.S. Java is pretty far from dead. See: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html

Dead? Your head is so far up your own area of interest that you can’t make the wood for the trees. That happens with people who specialise (READ ‘narrow their vision to grasp their current pre-occupation’.)
Java may be dead to you, until the moment you realise there is nothing left on your plate to pick, when you take a look around, only then you might see who cut your lunch. Dont thank me, thank Jonathan Livingstone Seagull
