What is JavaFX Mobile?
With JavaFX Mobile, Sun is bringing expressiveness to the most powerful and pervasive mobile platform. On mobile devices, JavaFX runs directly on Java ME to take advantage of its ubiquity, security, and highly capable feature-set. According to Ovum Research, there are over 2.6 Billion Java-based handsets in use, worldwide. 8 out of 10 handsets shipped in 2008 were running Java technology, spanning low-end feature-phones to high-end smartphones. Through the Java Platform, developers can enable their applications to securely access all of the capabilities of the underlying handset, such the filesystem, camera, GPS, bluetooth and more! With JavaFX Mobile, developers and designers benefit from using the same JavaFX tools . such as the JavaFX SDK and the JavaFX Production Suite . that they have been using to create content for the desktop and browser. This makes it much easier to start creating mobile content and opens up the mobile device to a much wider pool of developers and designers.
