Sun is working on Java for the iPhone

Sun Microsystems is known for many things, but is best known for Java technology. The basic idea of ​​Java is that a programmer can write a program and it can work on any PC or device where there is a virtual machine (Java Virtual Machine, JVM).



But in reality, things are not so smooth. On different platforms, code refinement is often required, and the main thing that infuriates the most is its own library of controls (elements) of the user interface. This is especially felt on the Mac.

Now Sun wants all the fun on the iPhone. In general, after the announcement of the SDK, Sun began to look into the possibility of writing a Java VM for the iPhone. After some “understanding of the topic”, they are sure that there is an option to make Java ME (this is the version of Java VM that is embedded in mobile phones and communicators) and they want to implement it. Surely this will please Java programmers.



It will be very cool if Opera Mini will be launched. For there will be a compression of traffic, images, etc.

Update : Not one OperaMini is alive with Java. For example, all sorts of enterprise applications for which web-ajax is small, and buying a “ticket” from Apple enterprise is expensive.

After all, will you not distribute the client to your KIS (corporate information system) through the AppStore? And not the fact that firmware 2.0 is hacked.

IMHO, better let it be Java. One head it's good, but two better :)
