According to the technical evangelist for the Java mobile and embedded community at Sun, Terrence Barr, with the release of the so-much-needed SDK in February 2008, iPhone users may be able to play and use Java games and apps. Barr argues the open-source phoneME platform could be converted to run on the iPhone, hence opening the “Java world” to the iPhone community.
Of course, not many people know what Jobs&co are working on, but somehow this makes sense. After all, we already know iPhone’s CPU supports hardware Java acceleration. Hopefully, we’ll see it actually being used after the MacWorld. Stay tuned…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
