They say that today all companies are software companies. In less than 5 years all companies will be mobile companies. So why isn't Oracle "getting it", why aren't they on the iPhone, on Android and even Windows Phone? This OTN thread has been going on for some time now with people constantly chiming in with various uninformed opinions regarding ...

We see this as one of the most important areas in which we can innovate and leapfrog native OS environments by offering testing that is just as cross ...

I won't spoil his research results so please read his full post here. A small disclaimer is that the Objective-C benchmark i...

Fonts are were a painful subject in Codename One, historically devices supported a very limited set of fonts and we were bound by said limitations.
