JAVA

Java is a software language that is becoming very popular for internet web pages and also more recently for mobile phones.  Java bears some similarity to the software language called "Basic" in that it is a script with recognizable words and having similar functions as if statements, subroutines and the like.  The writing of java also bears some similarity to C language in that parenthesis are often used to control the start and stop sections of small items of coding.

The importance of java for web pages is that it allows more control and more features that can be added.  For mobile phones, java allows an endless amount of applications that can be accomplished on cell phones including (but not limited to) productivity items such as calculators, games, and even more complex items such as GPS location and traffic directions.  Many Nextel phones are java ready and can handle many java applications.
