At the press conference following the keynote, McNealy was asked what he considered to be an obstacle to the Java platform's continued growth in the future. Then, when you closed the cover of the map, the map neatly folded itself back up again. The map that was given away as part of the JavaOne Conference materials must have been developed by some kind of Origami expert. I mean, you could see the map open up and collapse again, yet it was still a mystery. Even more more of a mystery was how anyone could think of something like this.
Human creativity is a wonderful thing.
The Java Ring is perfect, really. It's stylish, so it appeals to the fashion conscious. But it's also functional, so geeks will wear it. Of course, this version looks a bit big on a petite hand, but smaller styles undoubtedly will become available. Other versions of the chip already are available in the form of a wristwatch, money holder, and watch fob.
