How to sell your company for $8.1 billion: Use Java ME technology

Here's the lesson of the day. How do you sell your company for $8.1 billion? Step 1: Do something in the mobile market that's cool (like location-based stuff). Step 2: Write your SDK using Java ME technology (throw in a JSR, like JSR 179, Location-Based Services). Step 3: Sell your company to Nokia for $8.1 billion (that's billion, with a "B").

See that. Easy as pie...

Easy as pie, sell your Java ME company for $8.1 billion

Here's a quote: 

 Navteq has been profitable 
 every quarter since going 
 public three years ago.  In 
 2006, Navteq earned $110 
 million on sales of $582 
 million.  The company, 
 founded in California in 
 1985, has 2,000 employees 
 and offers digital maps of 
 69 countries on six 
 continents
Some programmers like messing with Ruby on Rails, AJAX, Javascript, blah, blah, blah... The real money is in Java ME technology. Youtube == $1.65 billion. Navteq == $8.1 billion.
