The company's SunSoft division is releasing a flavor of the JavaOS for consumer devices that uses core Java technology from the JavaSoft division. The operating system, which has followed a convoluted development path, has been designed as the brains for Web phones, television set-top boxes, handheld computers, and other devices that need far less memory than a typical PC. JavaOS for Consumers is a hybrid of PersonalJava, a slimmed-down version of the Java that runs on desktop machines, and Chorus, a real-time operating system that Sun purchased last year. By adding Chorus--which on its own can run mission-critical systems such as telephone networks--Sun gives JavaOS licensees a choice of running applications directly on the Chorus kernel either with or without Java. news.com
