| The Latest Numbers
An internal email just came from the Java™ platform marketing group with the latest statistics on Java platform adoption. They're pretty impressive:
- 5 million+ Java developers
- 180+ Java carrier deployments
- 1.2+ billion Java Powered phones (source: Ovum; as of end of June 2006)
- 1.65+ billion Java Cards
- 800 million PCs
- 1106 Java Community Process (JCP) members
- 304 Java Specification Requests (JSRs)
- 302+ million JRE downloads from java.com
- 6 million settop boxes
Looks like we're half way to the 10 million developer goal set at the JavaOne™ Developer Conference a couple of years ago.
