I think it's safe to assume that that is not going to stay that way. The
pilot pro has 1mb of ram, with a 3rd party extension to 2mb. Another
company announced plans for a 6mb module, and somewhere else I read that
the pilot as it stands right now is technically capable of adressing
16mb. 

So I think that Java has quite some future on the pilot.

http://userzweb.lightspeed.net/~gregh/pilot/jump/
is the direct path to the jump homepage.
