It long impart the impression that they are "long on promises but short on execution" much to the disappointment of developers and investors. Being first to market and first to innovate means nothing if it cannot take advantage of the first-mover advantage just like Sun's cloud overtaking by amazon's cloud service etc. I rather Sun doesn't stretch themselves too far out, and focus on delivering promised stuff to build credibility, better execution and proper strategy than get distract by trendy stuff. It is just important that Sun entrench the culture of building thing and getting it done, and not half-way done. Many of the Java stuff should have been completed by now, Java7 jsr, jwebpane, javafx15, ... but been dishearten by level of engagement with the community compare to Adobe and Microsoft. Just hope that Oracle's acquisition will change that. Nonetheless, I wish Sun success on Java AppStore.
