The Network in Your Hand

JavaFX > Advanced Mobile OS

Modern OS

Mobile Run many apps at once

Linux Kernel + Java SE
Portable across devices
> Compelling User Experience
> Tuned for Web & Network
Services
> Brings desktop-class
software to the device
> Supports JavaFX Script
> Rich authoring tools
> Java is the native language

Some History
Sun acquired assets of SavaJe in May 2007
Demonstrated very early version of Java FX
Mobile at JavaOne 2007
> First public showing of SavaJe on Linux
We've been working hard since then
> Helping Sun to digest
2.8M lines of Java code
800K lines of C code
lots of third party and open source code
> Finalizing and testing the Linux port
> Writing a lot of new code

Frameworks
Provide high-level, integrated functionality to
applications
Do more for the application than most environments
So we can
> insulate applications from things that change
e.g. where data is, how it is
cached/synchronized
> optimize memory & performance better
> be more responsive and adaptive
e.g. the system can learn from content usage
> provide a better, more consistent user experience

Sun Confidential Roadmap and Product Concepts are preliminary and

should not be viewed as a commitment 10
Frameworks
All of the built in applications are written in Java
Almost all of the APIs used by these applications are
accessible by third party applications
> Subject to security policy
We want third party applications to integrate as
seamlessly as possible

Application Support
Can run any number of each kind of application
> Limited by memory
Each application
> Runs in it's own Java Process (JProc)
Like a virtual VM
> Runs in the appropriate Java environment
So midlets only see MIDP/MSA classes
> Has it's own security manager
Security policy audited at install time
> Has it's own graphics context
> Has it's own event thread
> Has it's own application class loader
> Has it's own...
