... the On2 video codecs for live video streams?

(Via James Weaver.)

Danny Coward: Looking ahead a little, the plan here is to release the final version of the SDK for the desktop at the end of this year and a preview of the mobile version next March or so. I say or so, not just because schedules are schedules, but because we are ready to adjust based on the feedback we get from this preview release.

Release schedules are indeed slippery things. When I read "by the end of this year", I went, "that's not what they said last time?" But what did they say last time, "fall of 2008"? I couldn't find the link! Preserving the link is one of the purposes of this blog.

Another purpose of this blog is to point out something obvious from the quoted interview:

Param Singh, Sun senior director of Java marketing: JavaFX isn't exactly complete yet. Some features, like the On2 video codecs for live video streams, won't be available until next year.

With a little logic, it is not hard to deduce that the "final version of the SDK for the desktop" won't contain "the On2 video codecs for live video streams".

Sigh!
