Sun Micro Intros Ajax-Competitor JavaFX

Another contestant entered the race Tuesday for tools to build the next generation of multimedia on portable devices and other platforms. During the first day of the JavaOne developers conference in San Francisco, Sun Microsystems announced the launch of JavaFX.
The new JavaFX, a family of products that initially includes JavaFX Mobile for smartphones and JavaFX Script for development, will support all content and applications currently available across the billions of Java technology-based devices in the world today.
The Santa Clara, California-based company also said that JavaFX will deliver the ability to create interactive content, applications, and services from the desktop to mobile devices to the living room.

Outside the Browser
JavaFX Script is not a general purpose programming language like Java. It's more like writing HTML or JavaScript. It can run outside the browser, and is competing against Ajax, but it's competing more against Silverlight and Apollo.
