Sun developing Java for Apple iPhone platform
Sun Microsystems has announced that they are going to use the iPhone’s SDK to develop a version of JAVA for this new platform.
With this Java would come to both Apple iPhone and Apple iPod Touch.
This is great news for the device as it would enable the users of these two devices to access hundreds of Java applications available online.
The company said that as per their estimates there are more than 10,000 Java developers coding for mobile devices worldwide.
Eric Klein, vice president of Java marketing added: “With more than 4 million iPhones already sold, there is a large market that developers are anxious to access.”

This is not good news to me. Although I’ve tried to be, I’m just not a fan of Java. Java runs slow and the applications it yields look like some developer’s prototype. They just look cheap. I know for sure I don’t want Java on my phone! Java apps even run slow on my computer how much more on a phone. Sun, take the hint!
