What devices will run Java bytecode?

Started by Luc The Perverse July 27, 2005
I'd like to design some software in java and have it work, without 
any headaches, on a portable device (I'm envisioning a palm pilot, 
Ipod, Cell phone,. the playstation thing . . or something similar)

I can't seem to find a list of devices which take bytecode.   I 
imagine I would be doing mostly text based stuff.

The devices themselves won't take bytecode directly, you still need a JVM (java virtual machine) bytecode interpreter or JIT (just in time) bytecode compiler for your target system. I know it's available for the Palm Pilot. Rufus
Slow ones ?

Well they don't have to be slow! -- "When you have to choose between a first-rate company with a second-rate product and a second-rate company with a first-rate product, it's never an ideal choice. " -Ed (www.overclockers.com)
Sun used to make a Java chip. I don't know what happened to that.

Generally your write a Java interpreter or a Just-In-Time Compiler for
the platform you are running on. For smaller, embedded platforms you
might want to look into J2ME.

JStamp? I can't name a whole bunch of them but I've used JStamp and its pretty easy. I never benchmarked it, but at 74 Mhz it is pretty fast. -- |\/| /| |2 |< mehaase(at)sas(dot)upenn(dot)edu

Well . .. maybe everything is relative. I'm just imagining encrypting or dycrypting with a 4096 bit PGP key -- "When you have to choose between a first-rate company with a second-rate product and a second-rate company with a first-rate product, it's never an ideal choice.

LOL I obviously don't know enough about java to write to right questions. -- "When you have to choose between a first-rate company with a second-rate product and a second-rate company with a first-rate product, it's never an ideal choice. " -Ed (www.overclockers.com) "
