Can you run Jython on the JVM that runs on Pulse smart pens?

I'm looking at developing an application that takes advantage of the Pulse smart pen.

I would rather do it in python than java. Its not clear what version of the jvm runs on the pen, as evidence here in the tech specs

Are there limitations on whether or not jython and jruby will run on mobile version of the jvm?

Solution

  • The Livescribe Java API is based on Java ME; Jython and JRuby require a lot of functionality that isn't in Java ME. Also, I can't imagine the pen would have enough free RAM to run either.

    Maybe in a few years.
