Comments on: Sun Microsystems to put Java VM on Apple’s iPhone http://flashmobile.scottjanousek.com/2008/03/07/sun-microsystems-to-put-java-vm-on-apples-iphone/ Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:56:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Scott Janousek http://flashmobile.scottjanousek.com/2008/03/07/sun-microsystems-to-put-java-vm-on-apples-iphone/comment-page-1/#comment-129426 Scott Janousek Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:57:57 +0000 http://www.scottjanousek.com/blog/2008/03/07/sun-microsystems-to-put-java-vm-on-apples-iphone/#comment-129426 iBrent, thanks for posting this. Yes, it appears this was posted after the fact (after the "release"). So, yes, it looks as though Sun's excitement got the better of them. For those that want the whole article, here is excerpt: "After Sun announced our intent to create a JVM for iPhone and iTouch last Friday, there were questions raised in some blogs & forum posts about whether Apple's iPhone license agreement allows us to deploy the JVM. Our announcement was based on our excitement to build a JVM for the iPhone and the iTouch, as well as our assessment of Apple's publicly available information on the SDK and related business terms. If there are clauses in the iPhone beta SDK license agreement that potentially limit third party application distribution, then these are items that we want to have a positive discussion with Apple about. Sun and Apple have an ongoing relationship around Java SE on Mac OS X and we look forward to further discussions with Apple about a JVM for iPhone and iTouch. Sun definitely plans to deliver a JVM for iPhone and iTouch if at all possible!" iBrent, thanks for posting this.
