Fast Eddie puts Linux/Java in new RAZR 2 phones

Some of the new Java ME technology-enabled RAZR 2 cell phones just launched from Motorola will have Linux as the OS. Finally! If you've been following along, the work I've done with JavaFX Script (F3) running on a Motorola e680 (also a Moto Linux/Java phone) will be directly transferable to some of the new RAZR 2 phones (along with other cool new phones from Moto this year, like the RIZR z6 and ROKR z6). Lots of new places to run Java ME CDC (aka phoneME Advanced)!

See:

Java ME CDC will work on new Moto RAZR 2

Here's a quote:

 Some versions of the Razr 2, 
 for example, will run Linux 
 and Java software for a 
 better user experience. 
 Motorola's upcoming Rokr Z6 
 music phone will also use 
 Linux/Java, making "your MP3 
 player obsolete,"
So, all you Java ME CDC fans out there better get ready to have some fun when I give instructions on how to hack your new Moto RAZR 2, RIZR z6, or ROKR z6 phones. With OpenEZX (see http://openezx.org), an open source toolkit used to build against the Linux OS kernel on Motorola Linux/Java (aka EZX) phones, I can show you a few cool tricks to do with Java ME CDC technology (open sourced at http://phoneme.dev.java.net), including fun with JavaFX Script. Stay tuned Java ME CDC fans... Same bat time. Same bat channel...
