Interesting point of view Miguel... most developers think the language
sucks? Do you back this up in some way? Java is a very good language. I
am curious what you find so bad, what languages you think are vastly
superior? I think all languages have their faults, but given the
overwhelming popularity of Java in many facets of software development,
it's got a looong life ahead of it. I have found that most people that
say this about Java, know very little about the language and usually
fall into the camp of those that "hate java" until you ask them why and
the usual response is "because it sucks". Anyway.. I am not opposed to
other languages.. NDK.. as soon as it allows for direct audio and video
access.. will be the language of choice for most of android development
anyway (aka.. C).

Well I think this has to be because of the use of Java in Android.
If this is the case, I'd say that Oracle should be grateful that
Android chose Java when there are better options out there. I
personally wouldn't have touched the language if it wasn't for
Android. Most developers think it sucks.
It might also be because you can use 3rd party java libraries in
android. In either case, java was given a breath of life by google,
Oracle should be kissing their butt.

If there were no lawsuits, then I would worry. This is an encouraging sign
that Android is starting to rattle more cages due to its expected
profitability and competitiveness.

Oh gee, another patent lawsuit. :p
I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over this as a third party developer.

It hit the press today. Rumored that Google refused to settle. I have
no idea where this is headed, but I'll continue to develop for
Android.
