Sun has announced a new Java platform aimed at programming for mobile devices, JavaFX.  Among those said to be supporting this new language and pledging to use it are the likes of Sony, Sprint, and MobiTV.

Adobe and Microsoft are also developing new and better ways to integrate their famous technologies into programming for mobile apps.  While there are already an estimated 2.6 billion mobile devices already use Java regularly, with over 6 billion developers worldwide already writing in the language specifically for mobile devices.  GPSs, bluetooth devices, and address books are some examples of what the new JavaFX platform will be able to do quickly, easily, and perhaps most importantly, very securely.
