D's comments: Sun will try to sell OS based on Java. Sun bought Savage earlier this year and JavaFX is believed to be based on that platform. At this point i would suggest limited success to a Java based OS as Java OS has not been able to succeed on any other platform. Would vote for linux on the cell phone (already successful in Japan)
"...
But Sun only gets a small royalty from that software, which works with operating systems from other companies. Now the company is using its JavaOne conference in San Francisco to announce JavaFX, a family of products that will include an operating system and related software and services for cellphones.
Sun says that JavaFX Mobile software can be used to design sophisticated handsets akin to the iPhone, which Apple Inc. plans to begin selling in June.
Sun, of Santa Clara, Calif., isn't disclosing its exact pricing of JavaFX Mobile. But Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's chief executive officer, suggested it will receive greater fees per handset than Sun now gets. "We haven't been in a position to monetize Java," he said in an interview. "This puts us in a position to do exactly that."
