WSJ.com - Samsung to Use Java in Handsets: "Samsung Electronics Co. of South Korea said it will begin supplying mobile-phone handsets using Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java technology to China Unicom Ltd. next month. The company didn't disclose financial terms of the agreement. Samsung, the world's third-largest maker of mobile phones behind Nokia Corp. of Finland and Motorola Inc. of the U.S., said its SCH-X859 model Java phone will be the first phone supplied for the UniJa project. Sun formed an alliance with China Unicom and ZRRT, a service provider in China, to develop and promote Java technology-based wireless applications and services under the name UniJa. A Samsung spokesman said he couldn't comment on the amount of handsets that will be initially shipped."
