Tuesday February 05, 2008 She swallowed the spider to catch the Java ME tech-enabled fly
Do you remember the children's song, Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly? Well, there was an old Java ME tech-enabled company named Yahoo who swallowed another Java ME tech-enabled company named Zimbra. Then, along came another old company named Microsoft who swallowed the Java ME tech-enabled company named Yahoo who swallowed the other Java ME tech-enabled company named Zimbra... See: Zimbra offers Enterprise Collaboration for Java ME cell phones Here's a quote: Version 5.0 of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) lets users synchronize e-mail, contacts, calendars and to-do lists with Outlook 2007. Meanwhile, it also extends the suite's mobile reach via support for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, allowing users to access Zimbra on all BlackBerry devices. Also on the mobile front, the upgrade lets users tap into Zimbra from J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) devices...So, if a big fish swallows a little fish that swallows a littler fish, what does it do on the back-end in the glass room? I guess it would severely mix its metaphors and either use MS Exchange with Java ME cell phones, or the Old Lady would have to swallow a horse... of course, of course. :-) |
