The company, along with Java backers, is preparing a new release of its Java software for cell phones that it hopes will prevent a splintering of the Java market and stave off rivals such as Microsoft. Read the report at News.com.

Oddly enough Microsoft once (quietly) put out a press release supporting Java on Phones!
My link works fine for me…
How about an extremely low radiation phone? I’d gladly dispense with Java, games, keyboards, MP3 players, daytimers, etc., in my phone for really good call quality, very low radiation, and long battery life.
It would be cool to see more phones like the greenphone e68 — http://news.com.com/2100-1033-914213.html Not that the greenphone is perfect. But it is an interesting idea.
With the head of the World Health Organization giving up her cell phone, one has to be concerned. I would check to see how much radiation a phone puts out before buying it.

It’s interesting to note how some of the European phones put out less radiation than the US phones. I believe this is because GSM is a better protocol and that Europe has more cell sites.
So, new Java on the phone does not inspire me 😉
