Sun wants to bring Java to iPhone

Sun Microsystems announced days ago they’re working to bring Java to the iPhone after the release of the new firmware 2.0, this is late June.

Sun wants to put their JVM with the Micro Editio (ME) as many of mobile phones comes with, but it’s a good idea? We must think about it as Alex Blewitt did in his entry. He exposed a lot of reasons why Sun can’t and should no bring Java to the iPhone.

Basically there are legal reasons because Sun can’t bring Java, Apple doesn’t allow the execution of third party code and any interpreter except iPhone’s.

The other reasons he exposed are based on the no need, iPhone doesn’t need Java applications, who wants it? who wants it having cocoa applications? And I add, who wants the slow Java applications, and who wants the memory eater Java applications?

I’m sure a lot of people thinks the same, meanwhile Apple haven’t say anything about that.
