Right - but I've just seen too much stuff that pretends to be java that
isn't quite. My latest encounter is a cell phone that doesn't give the
jvm access to its soft (and only) keyboard. You can install mini-opera
but you can't type a url...
This really does not apply, you are confounding JVM compliance with the
sandboxing technique the phone maker decided to adopt.
You can as easily have a Sun JVM running in Linux and denying it access
to a keyboard.
These are 2 completely orthogonal things.
Simo.
