An Open-Source Java Port To iPhone?

Posted by kdawson on Saturday November 10, 2007 @05:43AM from the one-can-hope dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the first anniversary of open-source Java coming up November 13, a Sun official believes the project could bear a fruit much sought-after in the Java community: a Java port to the Apple iPhone. Apple has not released a version of Java capable of running on the popular device. But Sun's Terrence Barr, technical evangelist for the Java mobile and embedded community, believes Apple's plans to release an SDK for iPhone in early 2008 may result in the open-source phoneME version of Java ME winding up on iPhone."

You're not going to convince people that Java isn't "slow, bloated and ugly" by citing Oracle Apps and Lotus Notes as an example. Just a little tip there.
