These Java leaders include SpringSource, JBoss, Apache Software Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation. Each of these rivals made significant contributions to the architecture of Java, despite Sun's original establishment of the Java code and system. Nevertheless, for now Oracle will surely remain as the leading competitor of Java. Though Spring Framework, which came about in 2004, has been receiving much attention with an estimate 3 million downloads.

It is similar with international calling plans. There are so many plans but each provider has their own set of rules and rates. Trying to choose the right calling plan is like trying to choose the right Smartphone, there are just too many variables that make it difficult to know what the right decision is. That's why I like calling cards so much.
If you want to call India, for example, you just pull out your India calling card and dial. It doesn't matter which phone you are using because calling cards work across the board on all phones. If they can make applications like that for cards to call India from any phone, why can't other applications work on any phone?
