Next generation of DVD players to run Java ME technology

Here's a guardian.co.uk article on Jonathan Schwartz talking about open source Java technology. The cool part is the mention of the victory of Blu-ray over HD-DVD. For those who don't know, Blu-ray DVD standard has Java ME CDC and Personal Basis Profile technologies. The la-la-la-loser, HD-DVD technology, had no Java ME technology. Blu-ray, winner--Java ME. HD-DVD, la-la-la-loser, no Java ME. You make your own conclusions.

Java ME makes you a winner

Here's a quote: 

 Java is more than just a language; it 
 has a cross-platform runtime that allows 
 Java applications to run on a variety of 
 PCs and devices.  "We estimate that the 
 Java runtime platform runs on well over 
 1bn PCs, more than 1bn phones are 
 powered by Java, and with the victory of 
 Blu-ray, the majority of next-generation 
 DVD players will be running Java," says 
 Schwartz.  All this software is free.
And, make sure to note that the majority of next-generation DVD players will be running Java ME CDC technology. Not Java SE, not Java EE, not even MIDP, just your friendly neighborhood Java ME CDC.
