I am also a techno spaz but I think that when Unitec makes their hardware compatible with Suns, they will list on Suns Developers site and be available to other developers to integrate in their product. Can you see revenues from another source. Gotta like it.

Here is what I could find at Sun's site.I'm thinking good place to sell product at Technology day if Scada Developers attend. Good going to John and his Fellow developers. Might be a reason for current interest in UIC. Hmmm sun.com Sun Technology Day Sun Technology Day is a great opportunity for developers and others interested in Sun's products and technologies to learn about current offerings and future directions. This program has been offered throughout Europe and is available only to registered Sun Developer ConnectionSM members. It will soon be offered in several Asian cities, including Tokyo, Bangalore, Singapore, and Beijing, as well as Sydney, Australia. A complete schedule and itinerary can be found here. Sun Technology Day includes in-depth technical information, as well as high-level business presentations sun.com JINITM is a new set of technologies from Sun Microsystems designed to simplify the configuration and access of hardware devices and software services on a network. JINI creates a Java technology-centric homogeneous view of the network, leveraging the Java technology's ability to safely move code dynamically. This makes it possible to add new services or devices with no configuration requirements. It also makes it possible to execute new services without pre-installing software on client machines. For example, when a JINI-enabled device is plugged into a standard ethernet network, it will broadcast its presence automatically, then send information about the service to anyone who might be interested. If a user on the network requests the service, the associated Java language code will automatically download to the user for immediate access. The JINI specifications were designed to robustly accommodate for the challenges related to large scale networking such as latency of requests and partial failure of network nodes. This session will provide a high level overview of the JINI project, with the objective of illustrating key JINI concepts. It will begin with discussion of general challenges associated with distributed computing, and proceed to explain how Java technology goes a long way towards overcoming those challenges. The significance of Java remote method invocation (RMI) will be discussed, since RMI provides the low-level building blocks for the JINI infrastructure. This will be followed by a high level look at the various JINI specifications, including distributed events, leasing, transactions, lookup, and discovery. The session will then tie these concepts together with case examples illustrating their usage. Finally, the session will discuss how the JavaspacesTM technology can be used to distribute work requests among many network computers in a highly scalable and fault-tolerant way.
