iPhone is like Guess Jeans from the 1980s  (blogs.sun.com)  

The iPhone in many ways reminds me of the Guess brand of jeans of the late 1980s: all flash, no substance. Back in those days (in the 1980s), I wore Levi's jeans because they did their job which was to (oddly enough) be a pair of durable blue jeans, fit well, and cost a fair price. But, there was another brand of jeans at the time called Guess jeans, about twice the price of Levi's and didn't last as long and weren't as comfortable. Well, people loooooved Guess jeans, wanted to be seen wearing Guess jeans, wore them with the label proudly displayed, and didn't really care that they weren't a good pair of jeans.

My college roommate called up his parents and whined at them to buy him new pairs of Guess jeans, because everybody wore them. "But, dad, I need to have Guess jeans! You don't get it! All the popular people wear them!"

Dr. Mac: iPhone not really a good phone

Here's a quote:

 That all changed Saturday afternoon 
 when my 1-day old iPhone 3G had a 
 catastrophic failure and froze at 
 the Apple startup screen.  I tried 
 every trick in the book to no avail 
 before swallowing my pride and 
 heading to my local Apple Store at 
 The Domain in Austin, TX.

And, see: BusinessWeek: iPhone not really a good phone

Here's another quote:

 Complaints over dropped calls and 
 choppy Web connections on Apple's 
 iPhone 3G have sparked a wave of 
 debate in the blogosphere over the 
 root cause of the problems.  Two 
 well-placed sources tell 
 BusinessWeek.com the glitches are 
 related to a chip inside Apple's 
 music-playing cell phone.
So, the iPhone doesn't have Java ME technology, but I've come to realize from the latest reports that is only one of the many major faults of the iPhone. It's really a mobile phone for the vapid and the vain who want to be seen with a designer label, not have a phone that works. Just like Guess jeans in the 1980s. "Yeah, it can't play any of the cool Java ME games nor run any of the important enterprise Java ME apps, no it's not reliable enough to trust having as your mobile phone when your wife's pregnant, yes it drops a lot of calls much of the time, and yes it crashes and hangs a lot."

"But, it's an iPhone! Everybody's got one! I look soooo coooool because I have one."

Gag me with a spoon (popular quote from the 1980s). I'll just keep wearing my Levi's jeans and use my Java ME cell phone (which works, by the way). I'll leave the iPhone for the tragically hip and the hopelessly carrier-signal-less people of the world. :-)

News From Sun Campus Ambassadors Worldwide  (blogs.sun.com)  

Silveira Neto, campus ambassador at Federal University of Cear? in Brazil, recently posted three videos that show how he used JavaFX code to create drag-and-drop effects. Take a look.

Jenifer Parra Orjuela of Colombia writes about upcoming student events in Medellin, Bucaramanga, and Bogota. Watch this blog for details and photos.

Abhishek Uppala, campus ambassador at Icfai Institute of Science and Technology (IcfaiTech) in Hyderabad, India, wrote about a recent demo of the NetBeans IDE and provided a list of resources.

Sidsel Jensen, campus ambassador at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, wrote about her experiences at Yet Another Perl Conference (YAPC), the progress in planning October's Open Source Days, and a research-oriented test drive on a Segway.

On SDN Channel, Chris Coe and Jordan Slott talk with Chris Leung, former campus ambassador at the University of Southern California, about Project: Possibility, a nonprofit organization that helps create open-source software for people with disabilities. Listen in, then check out the Possibility projects, such as LunarTuner, a musical instrument tuner that is designed for use by "blind, deaf, or fully-abled but pitch-challenged users."

Ganesh Hiregoudar, manager of campus ambassadors in India and APAC, recently informed ambassadors of an article in InformationWeek that highlights the Java ME technology-based Lightweight UI Toolkit (LWUIT), Sun Opens Java ME Tools to Developers. ZDNet also covered the LWUIT story.

Tzietzel Anselmo-Ramos, program manager of the Sun Academic Initiative (SAI), announced that training is available for campus ambassadors through the new SAI Learning Connection. If you are not yet an SAI member, take a look at the course options by logging in as a guest on the SAI Learning Connection site before you register.

Web 2.0 Expo New York 2008 - Co-produced by TechWeb & O'Reilly Conferences, September 16 - 19, 2008, New York, NY  (en.oreilly.com)  

Web 2.0 Expo was launched to connect the builders of the web with the brightest minds, hottest ideas, and most valuable tools - and with each other. New York has long been where the world's biggest industries go online, and as Web 2.0 grows up and gets serious, the time is right to convene the East Coast web communities under the umbrella of the next generation web. It's time to come together to learn, share and network. And it's time to celebrate the size, power, and innovation of the East Coast web industry.

New Article: Creating a Custom Scrollable Table With JavaFX Technology  (blogs.sun.com)  

James L. Weaver has been posting a special series of articles in his JavaFXpert.com blog. In this series, he is collaborating with graphics designer Mark Dingman of Malden Labs on an imaginary application called Sound Beans. The objectives of building this application are to demonstrate how to create custom UI controls in JavaFX and to provide a case study in how a graphics designer and an application developer can work together effectively in developing JavaFX applications.

Each article contains the source code as well as a Java Web Start so that you can run the live application. Read the series. See the JavaFX index for additional news related to this technology.

Java Champion and JavaFX expert James Weaver teaches you how to create custom user interface controls.
