Sun Microsystems is working with partners to make Java telecomsy for netbooks. The company hopes to deliver a modular version of Java Micro Edition (Java ME) "sometime" next year, which would let netbooks running Java offer more of the kinds of features used in cell phones and are currently enabled on such devices through the Java APIs. Currently, netbooks must use Java Standard Edition (Java SE), which is used on notebooks and PCs.
I don't get it. I have an Asus EEEPC 1000HE. At the moment I'm running the standard desktop edition of Karmic and it runs fine. Java SE installs and runs fine on it just as well.
I don't understand. Why do people insist on pushing stripped down OSes (like Moblin) for netbooks when a "normal" desktop works just fine.
Everybody wants to control the netbook market, and Microsoft showed that lock-in, mindshare, marketing and software are the means to control a certain computer-branche.

Why also this strange JavaME hybrid?
