No JavaFX for iOS, Android or WP - why not?

[Tobias Bley]

Hi guys,

first of all: that's not an official press release of Oracle...

second: please take part of the current discussion on JavaFX forum about "JavaFX on iOS, Android and Windows 8": https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2448461&tstart=0

Richard Bair there asked for developers and companies who have a real (commercial) interested in using JavaFX on iOS.... So please please write Richard an email to show him your real interested.

Best regards,
Tobi
