Curl up in bed, with a good Java ME enabled Amazon Kindle 2

Yes, the Amazon Kindle 2 is being shipped next week and yes it does have Java ME CDC beating inside the core of its heart. Thanks for asking. It's got Java ME technology for a simple reason: it works well at the heart of today's coolest high tech gadgets.

See:

Amazon Kindle 2's heart is Java ME

Here's a quote: 

 But bear in mind that the Kindle, 
 at its heart, is a Java machine 
 and porting some or all of the 
 Kindle functionality to the 
 gazillion or so Java-enabled 
 handsets including those running 
 Symbian, BlackBerry, and the 
 Android platforms [blech!] 
 shouldn't be too difficult for 
 Amazon.  Software also is a 
 better business model for Amazon 
 given how much more scalable it 
 is than hardware...
Well, there you have it. Amazon Kindle 2 hearts Java ME. OMG, they are like BFF! LOL! TTYL!
