At JavaOne in San Francisco, Calif., Oracle CEO Larry Ellison talks to Sun Microsystems Chairman Scott McNealy about the future of Java development. Ellison says he will continue to expand investment in Java and sees the programming language being used in a variety of devices including Google's Android phones and Netbooks.

Considering that Oracle basically bought Sun for Java the Ellison-McNealy banter wasn't all that surprising. Unfortunately, Ellison didn't cough up any big plans for Sun's hardware business.
