A Legitimate Concern or Too Much Worry?

November 14, 2007 · Leave a Comment

New article on c|net speaks on Sun’s worries with Android and how it may affect JAVA.
“Anything that creates a more diverse or fractured platform is not in (developers’) best interests,” said Rich Green, executive vice president of Sun’s software work, speaking to reporters at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. “The feedback from developers is, ‘Help us fix this.’”

He said Sun wants to work with Google to nip any problems in the bud. “We’re really interested in working with Google to make sure developers don’t end up with a fractured environment. We’re reaching out to Google and assuming they’ll be reaching out to us to ensure these platforms and APIs will be compatible so deployment on a wide variety of platforms will be possible,” Green said.

Is this something to worry about? Tell us what you think in the comments. If we like your feedback, we’ll use it in a future podcast.
