Plan B

Google adds Java powered office product

Tonic systems (some name, huh?) is the latest addition to Google's repertoire of online productivity products. What's more, its Java based. While ThinkFree was always around on the text editing front, Power Point equivalents weren't getting enough press, imo. But hey, Tonic or ThinkFree may be some of the first Java based online products, but if you consider webstarted programs, the honor of getting there first probably goes to Gosling's Huckster. :-) (Really, check it out. You won't be disappointed.)
And you thought Java as a web based rich client platform was long dead...
