Can you imagine if Google had done things 'properly' and used Java ME - ouch!
andrewm replied ago:
yup, it would have been horrible. i believe that sun and google had quite extensive talks about licensing JavaME, but in the end the 2 sides couldn't agree: Sun wanted to stick with the WORA JavaME vision (hugely flawed in the mobile world due to such different hardware specs, look at the number of SKUs) and Google wanted to differentiate.
I'm hoping Android stays and is a big success. It's a breath of fresh air for apps developers.
