European cell carriers get some Sun

Major European cell phone carriers Orange and T-Mobile Europe will soon require that downloadable games and other data sold to their subscribers meet quality standards set by Sun Microsystems and several major handset makers, according to News.com.

"The announcements are a sign of a "deepening commitment" by both carriers to using Java to power their download services, Sun executives said. Alternative technology is available from Qualcomm, a San Diego-based maker of chips for cell phones."
