Sprint Mogul & included Java - WHY ?

[b_hound]

Just wondering...
since the Java software that comes with the Mogul doesn't work with the Gmail App, it is useless.
I have installed the 3rd party Java App and that works OK ( not great )

Is there a way to un-install the included Java ?

I have noticed some of the custom roms include it, why ?
( just finised testing DCD's room and it doesn't YAY ! )

Thank you.

to run their handmark applications i think.

Because Microsoft has still continued its M.O. of "handcuffing" consumers to their products and not allowing 3rd party software to be compatible if it views it as a competitor. Gmail is a competitor because it is overtaking hotmail users. Yes it is totally ridiculous that you cannot use gmail on the stock java, typical for MS.

Their business practices are one day going to ruin them completely. Once the masses start using a Google OS (I give it <5 years until Google has a free OS that is 100x better) people will start realizing how bad MS really was. Of course once a Google OS comes out, open source word processing programs, etc. will be released and backed by google after testing. The rest will be history. No one will want to use IE, MS Office, etc.

If you think I am talking crazy just wait.....
