Yep thats right the PS2 is set to be equiped with the Java Virtual Machine, this will alow the PS2 to run java programs like applets ans i-appli.
If you already have a PS2 and want it to have the Java VM on it sony plan to set up a service to allow you to download it for free from the net. This means you'll need a modem and maybe a HDD.
im not sure if the GCN or the X-Box will have this option on them. But it must be good news to some PS2 owners.
For those who can program Java or are planning too this is good news, may see an increase in bedroom programmers. If anyone here has any good java programs then they could post them here.

Great. In other news, we're allowed to take CD's into school on Monday for a music lesson and I'm bringing in "Between Angels And Insects" By Papa Roach.

PS2 will also support Quicktime, Realplayer and possibly Zip files from the internet. I think it's more than likely just support for the browser for chat rooms etc. Programing might come too though.
