Thats about the trademark name not the code. You don't care what running
'frobozz' does, but what 'java' means..
Right - but I've just seen too much stuff that pretends to be java that isn't quite. My latest encounter is a cell phone that doesn't give the jvm access to its soft (and only) keyboard. You can install mini-opera but you can't type a url...

This really does not apply, you are confounding JVM compliance with the
sandboxing technique the phone maker decided to adopt.

If JVM compliance doesn't require access to your input, why bother testing something that can't work?

You can as easily have a Sun JVM running in Linux and denying it access
to a keyboard.

It isn't denied access as a permission issue. The code that would give it access is replaced by custom code that requires matching changes in the apps.

These are 2 completely orthogonal things.

It is either just a bug or an effort on the vendor's part to make people buy their custom apps (which aren't available yet either..). They are promising an update to fix it sometime in the distant future.
