The Port of Singapore is making it possible for customers to track and change orders over the Internet using a Java applet. They are looking into using Java on handheld computers to update shipping information in the field, Matsumura said.

Sun also announced last week that it has signed an agreement with MetaWare Inc. of Santa Cruz, CA, to port MetaWare's High C/C++ Embedded Toolset to support Sun's picoJava core.
