Last chance to download JVM for PalmOS

Java_3

For the past few years, Palm has provided a download of the IBM WebSphere Micro Environment Java

Virtual Machine (JVM) to our customers, which allowed users to install and run Java applications and games on their devices.

As of Jan. 12, 2008, we will no longer be providing this as a downloadable application from our website. We will continue to support JVM on our website, but will not be able to offer version upgrades or software downloads.

Tim P. - Product Manager

UPDATED:

There were many comments regarding the rationale for no longer providing the JVM, and we appreciate your comments on the JVM availability. The reason that this is being not being offered after the 12th, is that Palm no longer has rights to distribute the JVM for Palm OS. We will continue to support users who have downloaded the JVM, but cannot continue to distribute it.
