John, James start off JavaOne by stressing on the importance of energy and environment saving efforts. Show various devices displayed across for JavaOne to meter the audience flowing in and out of any session, devices used to identify the energy consumed in JavaOne etc.
* John invites Rich Green on to stage.
- Rich requests Amazon VP onto the stage to demo Kindle. Talks of how they would like to replace the experience of book with Kindle where you can download, search millions of books, bookmark them etc.. Tries to download JavaBook over the internet and in mean time read WSJ etc.. The download of the book takes longer than expected while he walks off the stage. The complete software is on Java and was built before the device was actually available.
- Sony-Ericsson:
Rich invites Sony-Ericsson Senior VP on to the dias. The 6 yr old company has a business of $19 billion. Presents how they are planning to change the social experience using Sony phones. Hope to have the device released later this year. All applications built on Java.
*Java FX*:
- A demo by Nandini on Java FX:
Connected Life: An application plugged into Facebook page. This app consolidates other social networks and websites such as Flickr, IM into one application. Cool part of this being the app (plugin) can be dragged and dropped on to the desktop. The same can be run on mobile phones. Unfortunately the demo kept crashing and Nandini had to re-initialize the app atleast 3 times before the demo was ended. Rich Green's embarassment was obvious while Nandini engaged everyone with diversion tactics such as slow network and not a best of the vendor engagement statements (only to console herself) that Amazon's Kindle also did not work. Naaaa not too elegant...
- Another demo by <> on JavaFX and media by JavaFX designer. Showed how 2D, texting etc can be built using JavaFX. An application where the app plugs into Flickr and as you type keywords, it searches for photos on Flickr with corresponding tags. Pretty cool indeed as the images enter the app's galaxy like view.
A demo displaying graph of HD videos to select and play the movie. The app plays all the corresponding CODECS.
A demo showing Android simulator, in it the ConnectedLife app mentioned above is run.
