[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Java on the 770

[From: Luis Montes]

ARM has a feedback form on their site. I just confirmed with them that 
they have no interest in giving out specifications to their Jazelle 
technology.
Their only suggestion was that Nokia do something to get a jazelle JVM 
on the 770.

Sun is not the problem here.
