Nokia keynote by the venerable ex-Sun Jon Bostrom:
the pitch is good, and the marketing of nokia with J2ME has done leaps and bounds for the take-up rates of Java on handsets without doubt
SNAP mobile gaming platform sounds good, but i really want a Nokia 9500: http://press.nokia.com/PR/200406/951002_5.html
Showed a great example of a J2ME applet download initially with errors, then automated feedback to helpdesk real-time with the missing library files and the real-time update of the those files and notification to the user that one click will properly reload the existing applet correctly the second time around.
Interestingly, the feedback error to the helpdesk contained the relevant details required for support, such as platform, version, applications/libraries already loaded - very cool %)
Jon made an interesting reference to radio@AOL using the Liberty framework to assist in sign-on and discovery services all with web service technology: http://www.projectliberty.org/press/releases/2004-03-22.html
Talk about JSR 232 for handling different types of content: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=232
Thanks to Sang Shin for his self-less devotion to the fostering Java knowledge in the global community, and especially for taking a lead in the labs that have been so well attended during JavaOne with a record number of tutorials available: http://www.javapassion.com/
