Sun more into gaming?

Ok, we all know about Sun's Java games on mobiles, some update on this wrt Nokia and Sun Announce New Java Technology Mobile Online Multiplayer Gaming Solution called SNAP. One thing about making it available, will it be faster (not a nice experience, listening to tinny music while it loads at a turtle's pace), and will it make game development easier? I'm not expert, but we will have to see.
And Sun also wants to use single computer server to run online games for both PCs and consoles. Hmm, running "games from both consoles and PCs on the same platform", but not inclined to say "technology might be commercially available".
Official sites:
- Let the Games Begin! Meet the Sun Game Technologies Group
- Java Games

And if you want more, then google for "sun Game Developers Conference in San Jose 2004"
