创新的怪物：甲骨文使用树莓派和 Java 制作平板电脑

发布于 2013-09-27

Main idea: Many tech companies make tablets, and Oracle is no exception. It has unveiled the "DukePad" tablet powered by a Raspberry Pi and JavaSE Embedded 8, which is not for sale but details are posted on the OpenJDKWiki.
Key information:
- The DukePad is a bulky tablet not very fun to use directly.
- Builders need to get a screen and display board for $135, Raspberry Pi and camera add-on, a memory card, a battery pack, a case, and other components with a total cost of $367.55 plus assembly time.
- It uses the Raspbian operating system and JavaFX for the user interface, with applications built as JavaFX OSGi modules running on Eclipse Equinox.
- Full instructions were posted by Richard Bair, chief architect of Oracle's Java client platform.
Important details:
- The "DukePad" was unveiled at Oracle's JavaOne conference.
- It is described as an option for do-it-yourselfers as a learning or fun project.
- The source code and necessary software are available for those interested in assembling it.
