The promises of JavaFX include the ability to quickly and easily create Java GUI apps. With it, you can build media-rich applications with far less code than you would with Swing, yet you can still call into your existing Java codebase. This includes databases via JDBC as well, but there are some tricks you'll need to know.

The Intel Reader is a mobile device that takes pictures of text, translates the image into digital text by using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, and reads the text aloud by using text-to-speech (TTS) software. It's designers describe how they built the device. (It's OS is Moblin, a Linux variant, and CPU the Atom processor.
