Matsushita?

Matsushita needs to avoid reinventing application code for handsets that don't have Brew or the computing power for Java.

"Btw, does BREW support threadlock, overflowing buffers, stacks and resources, wild and lost pointers?? (or do they just happen, freely and ultimately, like a fart in the desert??)"

I was referring to process threading on the server side, not the handset side.

(ed: oops.)

Bounds checking and garbage collection may be automatic and sometimes out of control in Java.

But, it is not impossible in C, C++, or Brew. I actually like being in control of my own malloc.
