Java apps may not be all that but there are still some out there that would like a couple of them. Plus the iphone isn't some god on a pedistal! It's not like its the greatest phone to ever be released, which in my opinion is the stupidest thing a person could think. So with all that said... "GIVE JAVA THEIR FREEDOM!!"

It relies on a "Java virtual machine" being installed on each target platform. That's great for lazy developers, I suppose, but it sucks for end users. No matter the platform, Java apps feel like the 2nd-class citizens they are. The UI is sluggish and odd. Apple is right to try to keep this substandard user experience far away from the iPhone. Apple knows their market, and it doesn't include people want the "freedom" to wallow in crappy software. Let them buy competing phones and stop trying to drag the iPhone down to their level.

This is why Apple wouldn't want it. Look at SPSS v16.0.2 on Mac. It is slow because Java is slow, because the Mac computer is far faster at anything else. Java doesn't even allow you to use standard features of the OS, it's just pathetic. Java is just sloooow. This is why Apple wouldn’t want it. Look at SPSS v16.0.2 on Mac.
