Every credit card and sim card runs java code called javacard. So just in the USA 1 billion debit cards, 1 billion credit cards and millions of sim cards alone.

[scj]

Every credit card also runs Java as well

[CodeF]

Every Sim card runs java
Every iPhone has java
Every android phone has 2 java devices

Why is no one talking about PHP running 76.2% of the Internet 😭😭

[CodingWithLewis]

This number is 100% facts. No discrepencies.

[vaisakhkm]

I meant, that number came out before internet was popular.... so 3billion blu ray players?

[nishantshekhar]

'Java is good ', I used to say before I quit java

[iestyn]

remember, java isn’t bad, there’s just betters ways

[pretro]

Its not that wrong lol. it just depends on how you calculate it and how you define "a machine running java" (you could end up in anywhere from 1 million to ~ 10 billion)

[raghavwastaken]

Dont forget the older mobiles as well. All ran jar applications

[studiotutorial]

credit card readers.. bank machines... speakers.. and so much more you dont consider.

[Zack_Wester]

Dont forget Vending machines.
I bet Just in Tokyo and Seoul there is close to 1 Bilion Vending machines.

The whole Java project started when James Gosling found common errors in small devices’ IO and pointer handling.

As a part of SUN Microsystems he visited many facilities and wondered of writing a program that would eliminate these common issues.

Java during early 2000 came as a way to write a program that is easy to debug. It thrived due to lack of competition

What a perfectly good time to discover a remote code execution exploit

[HoseanRC]

Why use java?
1. Android
2. Minecraft
3. More android
4. Some other stuff about minecraft
5. Minecraft and Android?
6. I think i forgot to mention android

[melonheadwt]

we need more diging, cuz i doubt its just 3 billion
hell there is 7 billion people on earth, most of the kids slip out of mom hole with a phone which mostly based on java language, we need more diging, for science tho

[FemLolStudio]

How much old phone was able to run Java games? For example Nokia. And how much server, PC, etc. was java installed on and turn off, of swapped out fro a more modern PC?

[ArtyIF]

don't forget feature phones, those used to run java (or j2me) and i've seen a bunch of people still using them

[lainwired]

And how many old J2ME phones are people still using for work etc? Prob another few double digits mill at least.

[IvyANguyen]

I think that 3 billion was quoted even before Android got big. They're counting everything that had Java inside at some point, right? Old BlackBerry phones had JVMs too. Flip phones ran games in J2ME which was some kind of Java.
