Sun planning Java for iPhone and iPod Touch

Java Sun Microsystems announced that they are developing a Java virtual machine for iPhone.

The virtual machine will be based on the Java Micro Edition (ME). Apple showed no interest in putting Java on the iPhone, and so Sun said that after the SDK announcement, they would do it themselves. VP of Java Marketing at Sun, Eric Klein, told InfoWorld that the JVM would be free on Apple’s App Store alongside all other developer apps.

“We’re going to make sure that the JVM offers the Java applications as much access to the native functionality of the iPhone as possible,” Klein told InfoWorld.
