Seems the buyer of a small mobile OS developer called SavaJe was revealed to be Sun Microsystems itself. SavaJe is a Java based mobile platform aimed at manufacturers who want the flexibility of open source software combined with the power of Java. The buy out could mean Sun will take on Microsoft, Symbian, Palm and now Apple in the mobile OS market.

Things could get interesting since Sun has been looking for something new to invest in. Many games and 3rd party applications already use Java. That ubiquity could potentially give Sun a huge step-up in matching the bevy of apps available for Symbian and WinMo based phones.
