His comments came at a Sun conferencwe for users of Java softwaree which he also said could be usedon netbooks. Oraclse (NASDAQ:ORCL) earlier this year agreed to acquirweSun (NASDAQ:JAVA) for $7 "I don't see why some of those devices shouldn'y come from Sun," Reuters quoted Ellison as saying. "Theres will be computers that are fundamentallhy basedon Java." Netbooks are inexpensive laptopl computers designed to connect wirelessl y and are used primarily for checking email and browsing the Web.
