I-Opener and Java

[Heidi.Yelk at courts.state.wi.us]

Apologies in advance for this novice and non-work related question:  I am
looking into buying my mother an I-Opener from Netpliance.
www.netpliance.com I read a product review which was written in January 2000
that states: "pages that use the Java programming language won't work [using
the I-Opener browser]."  I don't compose web pages but this seems like it
might pose a problem.   I am wondering how commonly Java is used and whether
it is becoming more popular.  I don't want my mom's surfing experience to be
frustrating.  Any and all comments on this potential problem and I-Opener in
general are much appreciated.
Thanks!
Heidi
