both the embedded java and the jre for your desktop provide Java SE, so from that point of view they're the same. architecture is different of course.

but there's no browser plugin available yet so that embedded java can handle applets.

the stupid expiration date is just sun being evil and wanting to squeeze money out of mobile device makers...
