But most of smartphones come with a data plan, such as 3G. The idea of "cloud-J" is appealing as a platform-neutral solution.
Just like facebook and Twitter, which makes no sense to run on desktop. Also native apps don't like to be persistent, they must have short sessions. So they act like web apps. Even web apps may have some notion of persistence, just to left you finish your task while passing an underground tunnel. Web apps have many advantages: the powerful client of the web browser; networking and instant sharing. Imagine cloud-JAL, where you can create, test, save and share apps, widgets, etc., all through a single web interface.

Operating system AND pProcessor architecture must be matching, and Jsoftware doesn't provide a J for "Linux-on-ARM".
