Why Java?

I'm often asked why our main technology focus area is Java (J2ME for mobile devices).   One word. Volume. And volume wins. There are hundreds of millions of Java-enabled mobile phones out there already. And almost two BILLION Java-enabled devices in general.

Aside from that, Sun's Java technology is a fabulous piece of work - J2ME/J2SE/J2EE and the non-core APIs. Talk about a software platform enhancing developer productivity... we think Java is the way to bring customers the highest quality applications, at the best prices.

Very true. PHP is ubiqitous on low-cost web hosting packages. I don't think it's easy to write great web apps with PHP, but they sure have volume at the low-end.
