</div></div>As with anything, it depends on the app. Sure, small, light apps<br>
designed for cellphones will run on anything. But "real" Java apps are<br>
quite different. I can assure you that the Java apps that run<br>
sluggishly on my current desktop workstation will not even begin to<br>
run on your Centro. That also goes for a lot of general Web content<br>
that is not specifically designed for phones.<br>
