<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>>This is not entirely true - many of the nokia phones
use a java OS as a <BR>>core, and you can load pretty much any java software
you want on them, <BR>>but all the points about power and battery use are
still valid. (and <BR>>whether you really consider that truly an OS is
questionable, but its <BR>>out there)<BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Java is the worst offender. Its resource
requirements often exceed those of the application it is running. Java is
useful for things like displaying web pages that are not time critical and where
its write once, run everywhere philosophy is valuable. But anyone trying
to actually do things like I/O control, call setup, transcoding, etc. in Java
are asking for every issue I raised. If WCE can get 8 hours of battery
life, Java would be about 3.</FONT></DIV>
