Sun SPOT
Hi....
Yesterday I received a giveaway items from the Sun and it contains the most exiting item "Sun SPOT". It is a technology from the Sun Lab. Sun SPOT (Sun Small Programmable Object Technology) is really a cool technology to work on. The SPOT is a kind of Wireless Sensor Network technology. It is really a small device so you can not have any OS on it but it contains the Java Virtual Machine(JVM) directly on the hardware. It is the best example of Java's "Run Anywhere" paradigm. The Sun SPOT is currently in version 3.0 beta.
The Sun SPOT kit contains two free range SPOT units, one base station, connecting cables and software disk. You can find a lot of information on

Have a look and have fun!!!
