Topic: BUG SDK / Why phoneME and not j2se

I love this project, I’m excited with new things like Android and iPhone and when I found buglabs I got even more excited. I have a question, sorry if it has been asked:

why not using a j2se small VM and a j2se class path like openjdk, gnuclasspath or harmony ?

have you thought about the similarities with Android? could it be possible to find a way to run some applications both in android and in buglabs? not any application of course but may be some common framework?

thank you.

Topic: BUGmodules / the pen

logitech has something like that, but it requires special paper, that has a grid on it, so the pen can read the writing… i definetly like the idea

Topic: BUGbase / Suggestion: BugBase linking

Ondego – we think the same way! We have some ideas for how to do this and it’s definitely on the roadmap.

That said, if anyone wants to make specific suggestions for how they’d like to see this happen, let’s use this forum.

Topic: BUG SDK / Is Dragonfly the David Hasselhoff of SDKs?

Can you look into OSX compatibility a little bit more and make the SDK more stable? I have been running into probs getting projects created due to stability. I know some of it is due to Eclipse itself (Eclipse seems kinda buggy and weird at times for me anyways in my experience in Windows/Mac OSX dev.) Just my 0.02

Topic: BUGbase / Slim line?

Good suggestion – we’ll be handling these kinds of things based on demand. So if we get a huge amount of support for a version with these features integrated, we can work through that. If demand appears low, well, that’s what the modular nature of the system enables anyway, so either way the configuration becomes a possibility.

This will be a learning process in a lot of arenas, especially including product configurations. Topics that seem like "no-brainers" often are exactly the opposite!

Thanks again for the suggestion, would anyone else like to jump in on the discussion?

As long as it shows me the nearest place to get cake, it’s going on my BUG.

Topic: Java / question

Hi Jessie,

The BUG will be shipped without any applications installed on it. You can either download a pre-made community application (available on BUGnet via SDK), or create your own using Java.

As far as good books are concerned, you might want to check out Java Programming for the Absolute Beginner:

Another book we’re using and love here in the office (that also has great reviews on Amazon) is Head First Java:

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Heather
