I hate the closed nature of Nosy's PSP, at least in 1.1 and above;-) I do like the cell processor, and I want a cell laptop about 3 years ago.
Still, big corporations taking an unhealthy interest in open source has proven mildly annoying in the past. IBM did a good job. SCO and Apple have pissed people off. Will Nosy play nice?

NOW before you start getting your undergarments of choice in a complex multi-dimensional distortion, this is the VM. You know, the thing that ust be 100% compatible blah blah.
Now, the libraries on top of the VM, are SCDL..SCLC... whatever thier acronym is... I do not think a GPL, LGPL or anything would be of benefit.
If took IBM to make a pretty neat VM, I think apache may have a token gesture, but I do not see anything usable (by usable I do not mean Hello World) within 24 months, or anything desirable at all, ever. Since thier catch up time, we will have a newer Java, with all kinda of neat features (TM) in terms of performance, the way I see it the next major VM release isn't going to be too cold on the heels of Java 1.5.0_02 / 5.0.
I am still using 1.3.1_02 for one project, and skipped 1.4.* entirely for this project and I am just hitting 1.5.0_02 for it. But this goes to show how utterly l33t Java was even at 1.2/3

Right, what is more expensive: a 'robot' that carries a duplicate of itself, in an unassembled form, and the means to lego it together (IF you understand, it has already broken!) or just send 2 robots?
Now, AUTOMATED CONSTRUCTION of bots is useful, you send a ruggedized factory into space, it then assembled robots.
Now if that is saying 'biology isn't the only self replicating thing' then so it the Auto manufacturing robots, or the robots who inject toohpaste into tubes, multiple times....
