Running Java applets (with Jeode's PIE plug-in or NetFront) is pretty cool though. And, the ability to run J2ME games is pretty cool too because there're tons of them at http://midlet.org/ .

And, there're quite a few apps running flawlessly under (prolly, hacked and J2SE-upgraded) Jeode. Jeode is indeed a resource hog, but, for example, generating PDF files on a PDA is only possible from inside Java apps because there's absolutely no native applications to do this.
