Yeah that's true so I'll make a better point. PORT the Sun Wireless Toolkit
2.2 to OSX or burn in the pits of hell for all eternity :)

Here is an area where cost-benefit is clear moreso than even supporting
Java5 or whatever they're calling it this year. Wireless development is an
explosive area both for developing with OSX and for developing FOR OSX and
there is NO equivalent development for OSX at the moment. Even to develop
for PocketPC requires the use of a Windows machine at this point. This is a
growth area that really needs to be addressed.

If the whole debate were really about cost benefit, they would have never
ported the (then deprecated and unsupported) Java3D API to OSX. There were
far more pressing things that were needed.
