Pravin, One of the biggest selling points of any device is that it is familiar to people. Remember the doubts people had with TV, etc. It has to drive like what I am used to. People who don't own computers now don't for 2 reasons. Either a) they can't afford one or b)don't want/are affraid of them. People are affraid of anything new. The easiest way to sucess is to use something familiar to people. Windows CE was designed to look familiar. Besides like I said Java is SLOW and has other limitations and IMHO will not exist in it's current form in about 3 years. It will mutate into a compiled lanuage. Steve
