Java FX Moible and Neo1973

I was back from Java One 2007 and still trying to recover from it ;)

The biggest mobile news from Java One is the announcement of Java FX Mobile. Java FX Mobile was demoed on Nokia N800, SavaJe Jasper S20 and FIC Neo1973. It is quite a coincidence that I just blogged about OpenMoko last Sunday and said Google should take it and make it as the rumored free Google phone offer.

Here is why that phone is named as “Neo1973″:

… the device’s “Neo1973” marketing name was coined to evoke the idea of new life forms, and the year (1973) in which Marty Cooper invented the mobile phone, according to Moss-Pultz and Lauer. Their presentation concluded, “Welcome to the new 1973. The future is open. We’re going to revolutionize it again. Only this time, you will write the rules.”

DailyWireless has a nice article about Google phone news and rumors:
The Google Phone: Fact, Fiction and a Huge Link List

Just like the Google desktop OS rumor with Ubuntu, I would wish the Google phone is based on something like OpenMoko. As a truly open Linux phone with GPS, it seems that OpenMoko is perfect for Google’s needs.
