Here's another Java-wannabee that promises it is an operating system "capable of running Windows, Linux, Palm and Java applications" on mobile devices. Uh...HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOO...is there actually a market for this? As far as I can tell, this space has already been taken at the application development level by MIDP.
And btw, it's not like there aren't enough detractors of J2ME already who seem to think java apps on mobiles are way too slow. Adding another layer of complexity to devices that can barely handle the current load may not be a good idea.
The only interesting thing I can see is the fact that it looks like the guts of the apps running on this platform will actually be running on a central server (see quotes below). Now this is something that will tickle the pleasure center of any network operator - think of all that wasted bandwidth as the local apps keep clinging to the MXI server.
Radixs says its MXI OS is capable of running the applications on mobile
devices. The MXI OS Platform, which resides on the device, uses what
Radixs calls a Single Operating Layer Architecture (SOLA) and establishes a
connection to the MXI Server for multi-media playback and web content
browsing.
The MXI Server is hosted and deployed by the wireless service operator, and
centrally executes Windows, Linux, Palm and Java applications.
