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…
