With the 2009 JavaOne Conference officially underway in San Francisco, we’re overflowing with exciting news! Today's 14th annual conference marks the official availability of the JavaFX 1.2 platform which features significant performance updates including new cross platform User Interface (UI) controls, faster application start-up, streaming media support and other performance enhancements across desktop, browser and mobile. 
Today also marks the much anticipated arrival of the Java Store. As discussed two weeks ago by Jonathan Schwartz in his blog, the Java Store fundamentally represents a huge opportunity for the entire Java ecosystem. The Java Store simultaneously gives companies and developers a vehicle for reach and monetization across any device that runs Java. You’ll not only see applications for your desktop at the Java Store, but mobile and TV apps as well. Exciting stuff indeed, especially if you’re an ISV looking to reach the estimated 1 billion Java users around the world!
Did you know the average American spends 4 ½ hours in front of the television per day? With that, Sun takes the next step in extending the JavaFX vision by seamlessly bringing rich and expressive interactive content to TV. At JavaOne, Sun demonstrates a proof of concept with JavaFX TV running on a next generation LG electronics TV.
For those out in San Francisco, be sure to check out Java Utopia on the floor at JavaOne. Simply put, Java Utopia is a quarter mile of FUN! It’s a place where developers can go when they aren’t in a technical session and experience an interactive and intimate environment with the creators of the latest Java technologies. Be sure to check it out!
