What is up at SavaJe ?

Hi all,

SavaJe, the manufacturer of SavaJe OS (an impressive Java OS for
handheld device) after burning cash trying to compete with Windows CE is
now "offline" (even though the website is still up).

This seem to be confirmed by a news :
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2032659,00.asp

But no further details can be found on what is the exact status of
SavaJE OS.

With JDK about to GPL getting their sourcecode to the same wagon would
be a major shock for handheld market (with strong perspectives for
desktop market too).

There has been struggle to build opensource Java OS (JOS, JNode, ...)
but SavaJe OS still looks like a good candidate to me.

With opensource and a community, there is even some room for support
service business.

Anybody with clarification on the future of SavaJe OS ? and details on
who is holding the code ?

Rgs,
TM

As far as I know, they're dead. I like them, but never understood the
motivation. JavaME is firmly entrenched as the dominant application
language for mobile, so i never understood how they would
differentiate themselves from all the other phones.
