Abstract :
The Green Project created Java specifically for an embedded device, a handheld wireless PDA (persnal digital assistant) that was never released as a product. However, Java was launched as a new Internet language. Over time, it became popular for building desktop applications, Web services, and ubiquitous systems, partly because of its "write once, run anywhere" promise. There\´s no doubt that Java and PDAs are a powerful combination. In Java Development on PDAs: Building Applications for PocketPC and Palm Devices, the author writes that Java developers often have a preconception that having to choose a hardware platform is a concern of the past, since Java runs on any platform. The author discusses portability issues between the PocketPC and PalmOS devices.
