Litte OT, but good news to Java:
Oracle and IBM Collaborate to Accelerate Java Innovation Through OpenJDK

Now they just need to develop Java futher and for example have that Dalvik's cow-shared-memory class-loading and security ("Memory Consumption" and "Security") improvements and concentrate to optimize JIT to be faster than C++.

[edit]
Nokia could join the party and try to get QtJambi integrated to standard OpenJDK Java.
