Hmm, true.  Although I see all of the "small embedded" markets as 
essentially similar.  If Oracle can make in-roads in devices even 
smaller than Android, perhaps Oracle can then leverage their way into 
larger devices.  I think that's going to be difficult however.

I'm honestly at a loss how they expect to make money on compact 
profiles, either now or later.  I see compact profiles as gee-whiz 
capability with no business plan.  Google takes a cut of app sales on 
Android -- that's a pretty solid business plan.  Where's Oracle's 
equivalent on smaller devices?
