Microsoft has come up with a bright new concept: Use Java ME to unify to one programming platform for all the disparate cell phones out there. Duh. Now, why didn't we think of that at Sun Microsystems? Oh, wait... we did.

See:

Microsoft Java ME OneApp

Here's a quote: OneApp is a (small 150k) Java application which can run on any compatible Java phone... What a great idea! Using Java ME technology for what it was intended to do. Well, it shouldn't take a multi-billion dollar company to validate that idea. But, heck, we'll take it. Microsoft is an OK company in my book. ;-)
