Re: [The Java Posse] Where is JavaFX Mobile?

[Stephen Chin]

Hinkmond fielded a few questions about JavaFX Mobile at our January SvJugFx meeting. On the device compatibility question he mentioned that JavaFX Mobile runs on a variety of Windows Mobile devices including the fast new Snapdragon-based devices from HTC (with the caveat that any bugs need to be reproduced on the HTC Diamond, because they have limited resources to test new platforms).

Hinkmond will be speaking at the Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group in February, which is a good time to get the inside scoop. We do a live web simulcast so even if you are not in the bay area you can catch all the action online and ask/vote-for questions:

But where are the phones?  I search both manufacturers web sites for
"JavaFX" but couldn't find anything.  To the best of my knowledge,
there's no JavaFX Mobile phone out there - or is it?

A couple of devices - e.g. the HTC diamond. Of course, this is hardly good for prototyping. AFAIK the Windows ME runtime *could* run on a few compatible devices (i.e. with a compatible processor etc...) but I don't have reports about that. As Osvaldo said, it's up to Oracle. And Casper is right, that having a port on Android would be great. If e.g. JavaFX was completely open sourced I believe that it could be done not too hardly. OF course, the decision of opensourcing JavaFX it's again up to Oracle.
