Interview With Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fireside-chats dept.

Engadget recently grabbed a few minutes with Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz. They were able to get some great information on the JavaFX Mobile platform as well as Java on the iPhone and how the struggle against Microsoft is going with respect to open source.

    First of all, this was on Engadget Mobile, so it's strictly limited to porting Java to portable devices.

    That said, here's a typical question:

    "Jonathan, we have videotape of you mooning the CEO of Apple and saying "Not until after hell freezes over you SOB." This seems to indicate some difficulties in getting Java on the iPhone."
    "Absolutely not! There aren't any technical challenges to porting Java. We can completely get it done man, just as long as Apple doesn't screw around again. There are no technical problems. Technical issues aren't there. Nope. No way."

    The sooner someone smashes that pony-tailed freak in, the better.
