exactly, my point is that Apple doesn't want to give a chance to
Google to do that, so the reason they discontinued is probably because
Oracle will pick it up.

I don't think Oracle can ignore macs in 2010 and still maintain the
"write once, run anywhere" Java claim. I mean, the iPhone is closed
and it's Apple "fault" it doesn't support Java, but if Macs don't
support Java... it will be Oracle fault. Redhat and Microsoft don't
write their JVMs.
