Watson developer Dan Wood has posted an update on Sun’s Java version of his popular Mac OS X application. “I am sad to say that it looks like Sun doesn’t seem to be focusing on getting the port of Watson released any time soon,” writes Wood on his blog. “Of course, this wasn’t the plan. The intention when Sun acquired the Watson technology was to have a port released by this time.

They do say that they “cannot disclose the terms of the agreement,” but that the technology will be demonstrated at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco.
