The Java Natives are Restless! ...on cell phones

There's still an open question on which is better for next gen cell phones: closed proprietary OSes vs. open standard Java native OSes.

See:

Open OS for cell phones

The right way to go is a customizable Look & Feel Java native OS (based on J2ME CDC) for cell phones, so that you can get all the advantages of a single programming platform (Java), plus skinning using a common Look & Feel, plus all the common APIs calling down to the native layer (battery life, signal strength, etc.). It will take a few years, but that's the trend that will develop for high-end cell phones and smartphones.
