Is that Fleecy at http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003Jan/bpd20030123018304.htm a fake?

Probably

Still, it's just one sentence long, so hard to to say. It's also VERY hard to see why anyone would fake that. Usually, we see people imporsonating to make the other person look bad, but in this case it's a pretty much neutral statement so I don't think anyone actually CARES if it's faker or not. If it's fake, what does it matter?

Also no modern PDA supports 640x512 or 640x480 to my knowledge, which would at least be required to get a lot of amiga apps running.

No we just need 640x256 (Pal Highres noninterlaced) which doesn´t exists either.
But there are some devices with 640x240 screens like the HP jornada and the psion netpad, actually psion netpad is the formfactor i want but it lacks some hardware.
It´s to bad the highest res on the palm is the Sony 480x320 and the next set of palm will be arm7 based( not 68k compatible).
Anyway i don´t think anyone will make pdas with screens that are satisfactory to me, might just aswell do one myself.
DIY is the way!

I don´t care about DE it has nothing to do with Amiga they are just using the name, and you can´t really belive that they can compete with Sun Java???

I recall, Sun’s Java VM is limited to Java language... Tao’s VP technology is not limited to one programming language.

Edit: removed the “not” from the first sentence.  

Actually you was right the first time, there are other languages for Java and you could build an compiler that compiles to Java code and thats according to a my teacher in computer science when was I taking the initial computer science course at uni.
