Dean,

I agree but a few points:

1. With the push for browser based applications, most desktop (fat client) development has been marginalized.

2. Android has 72% market share for mobile and of course Java is the development environment for Android. We will see many android based devices for things like RFID readers, vehicle navigation, etc.

Java on the desktop has been dying for a long time, but you still see it from time to time. Java on the server is still vibrant,

but there are many more players in the field. It will never be as dominant as it once was, but it's still popular.
