I remember a post either here or another Maemo board awhile ago stating "pigs will fly before the N800/Nokia supports JAVA"...

Apparently Sprint is digging the N800 "non-phone" device as a way subscribers can use their future WiMAX network. This fits in well with Sun's "phoneME Project Vision" >> https://phoneme.dev.java.net/phoneme_vision.html

If Nokia doesn't fall asleep at the switch, they may find themselves on the profit side of the "tipping point" with the N800...
What with the money rethinking the need for a UMPC or Microsoft's fingerprints all over any other portable connectivity device.

We will all have web servers in our dang pockets soon!

Actually, the fact the instructions are updated is quite nice. The old ones had issues on my system. Might resurrect my (extremely hackish) attempts to get a GUI on this
Yup, IBM's WebSphere was close. I got it running on my WinMo PPC. It's old and I didn't think it was worth the effort on the N800... A GUI would be sweet BTW. Good luck with your efforts on this.
