  1. Right. When talking Android just replace bytecode with ‘dalvik’. Also no .class files, its .dex.

  2. dalvik VM is not reading a standard bytecode? :o

  3. Ah . yah. Next time I’ll watch the whole video. He mentions Java a couple times, but Java is in the applications framework layer and the applications layer. oops. Native libraries could still be C.

  4. This was posted in Nov 2007. The layer where he mentions C and C++ is now Java. The native libraries layer. Java compiles to dalvik instead of bytecode.

  5. YAY linux phone

  6. Yes, thanks to Java and XML.

  7. What about Java!!??

  8. Just like IP has stood the test of time, and will for many years to come, Java and XML have matured and are now very, very ready for very, very prime time over the coming decade+.

    IP + Java + XML are the critical pillars of the evolving Web.

  9. java and xml.. didn’t technology advance the last few years?..

  12. if i help, can i have germany? all those prostitu… i mean servicewomen shall need a great leader

  13. dont we all my frien? dont we all?

  14. What about Symbian? Looks promising, if they really do open Symbian as well. Then we have two open platforms for mobile phones. I think the more the merrier. Possibly even a fusion of the two since they are both open.

  15. Android is very promising. It’s only the beginning and it will become better like in any Linux distro. It’s funny that we now have AGAIN 3 platforms but in phones. Apple, M$ and Linux. But unlike M$ that has some standards and Apple that has only one piece of hardware to worry about, android is a more difficult project to deal with, since it is geared to run in as many hardware variations as possible. So we have to give the android team and Google some credit for a great engineering effort.

  16. What a heck are you yelling at?
    There is another meaning to “free”, on that is older than “opensource”.

  17. UUU Yeah, I luv the 21st century I luv it I luv it!!!

    If you do, your wish will come true

  19. What are you talking about? It’s Open source, that means you are allowed to see all of the code put into making the OS and from that you can compile it so it’s exactly what they distribute, the only thing that will cost is the MOTHER FUCKING Service . . . But the OS is free

  20. You can compile anything yourself, doesn’t makit free.

  21. You’re probably able to use it for development. See, even this presentation seems to be made in Apple Keynote.

  22. does it work on iPone or a imac

  23. I guess… but I was just sayin :P

  24. well if something is open source than you can compile it for yourself and it will be free….

  25. Open Source is not necessarily free…
