@Adrian: Oh how disappointing! What supports CDC/PBP now? Like Series 90 and the P990?

@Ajit: It was great meeting you Ajit. You’re pushing all the right messages and are making a very fragmented segment a bit more manageable and coherent.

I was pretty excited about Laszlo targetting the mobile market, but saw the following on the Orbit (the Laszlo mobile module) site:

“Project Orbit behaves as a viewer (or player) of LZX content, much in the same way as a FlashViewer can view Flash content. It is an application that rest on to of the Rhino JavaScript engine which runs on the Java ME CDC/Personal Basis Profile stack.”

You can see that there’s no mention of CLDC which is what the vast majority of current phones in the market support. These are going to be around for at least a few more years, but no one is addressing this pool of users.

Awesome assessment. I wonder what role Laszlo will end up playing as the RIA space continues to bloom. We used to use Laszlo quite a bit and are pretty familiar w/the environment. It almost seems like Java PART II in the sense that they are going for the write-once, run anywhere meta-language. Except whereas Java optimized for desktop/server developers, Laszlo is coming from a web developer perspective…

Take it easy brotha…
