Hi Marvin - If MOT and SUNW were going to sign a JAVAPHONE API licensing agreement, why wouldn't they just announce it today at the close. If you noticed all the other announcements made today by SUNW (I posted a few), a MOT and SUNW JAVAPHONE API agreement is not that big a deal. I think the announcement is much larger and may involve some sizable orders. Perhaps it could be as big a deal as the AOL, Netscape and SUNW deal. We will see tomorrow. EKS Here is another Reuters headline: Tuesday June 8, 7:59 pm Eastern Time Motorola , Sun plan announcement CHICAGO, June 8 (Reuters) - Wireless communications and semiconductor maker Motorola Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc., a provider of computer network services, plan to make an announcement Wednesday, the companies said Tuesday. Both companies declined to disclose the nature of the announcement. A teleconference with officials of Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola and Palo Alto, Calif.-based Sun is scheduled for 1130 EDT (1530 GMT) after the morning announcement.

Speculation from the Motley Fool Board.... Subject: Re: SUNW & MOT joint announcement Date: 6/8/99 7:07 PM "...just a wild guess but it may have something to do with "Java Phone" since Motorola makes phones. Likely SUNW and MOT are teaming up to bring the world the web over their portable phones and likely other devices as well. We all knew it was coming. I would think that this should move the stock tomorrow. Also I heard that SUNW's CEO and the MOT CEO are going to appear on CNBC Squawk Box at 8 tomorrow a.m. so they should be letting the cat out of the bag then. Can't wait to hear what they have cooked up...." EKS
