"Sun Microsystems welcomes and supports LG Electronics' and SavaJe's innovative extension of the mobile Java platform to the entire handset operating system," said John Loiacono, Executive Vice President of Software, Sun Microsystems. "By opening the doors to a consistent end-to-end software platform, this partnership will create huge new value propositions for mobile Java developers and the whole mobile ecosystem."

Over the past year we have learned to appreciate the pervasive dedication to six-sigma quality and the innovative marketing thought that permeates LG.
