Cool Use of Java technology: San Jose Airport Interactive Map

Here's an example of a cool use of Java technology. It reminds me of Harry Potter's Marauder's Map from the 3rd book/movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

It's an interactive map of the arriving and departing flights in and around San Jose Airport. Follow this link and click on the airplane to see more info about it.

See: http://www4.passur.com/sjc.html

The cool part is that it is a Java applet and J2ME CDC/Personal Profile can run the same bytecodes on a PDA or high-end smartphone.

Still interest in Java on Pocket PCs after 1 year

It was almost 1 year ago when I got dragged in (kicking and screaming) into an open letter to Sun to try to get a free JRE for Pocket PC devices.

See: http://forum.java.sun.com/wireless/thread.jsp?forum=80&thread=408223&start=15&range=15&hilite=false&q=

If you scroll down to reply 28 of 147, you'll note that I'm "A Sun Engineer". <gosh>

Boy, not much changes in 1 year, eh? :-)

People still want free stuff (something for nothing).
