Hi guys,

first of all: that's not an official press release of Oracle...

second: please take part of the current discussion on JavaFX forum about "JavaFX on iOS, Android and Windows 8": https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2448461&tstart=0

Richard Bair there asked for developers and companies who have a real (commercial) interested in using JavaFX on iOS.... So please please write Richard an email to show him your real interested.

Best regards, Tobi

I didn't have the pleasure of being at JavaOne but in a blog by Lucas Jellema (and retweeted by Nicolas Lorain) the following is stated:

"JavaFX is no longer intended for use on SmartPhones. The iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile phones are provided by the respective platforms, there is no room there for JavaFX. JavaFX is targeted at the desktop to replace Swing and at smaller devices that run embedded Java." This is extremely disappointing especially after having seen demos of JavaFX running on iOS and Android devices. Can someone explain why this decision has been made? Thanks, -jct
