somewhere overon the Sun blog site there is a blog talking about a JVM for ITOS (2008?) on the N8x0's...i don't have the link handy but it's there...not sure if it is coming or even breathing hard though...

here is what a quick google gave me:

seems like a good place to begin watching what is going on...

Where is the larger community - iPod Touch & iPhone... and for heaven's sake its Apple Inc. They are like Microsoft in their business methods sometimes.

Yet so different. Yet so alike.

BTW, our JVM is already here:

Suffice to say, I'm going to ensure I have a thorough play before I go to JavaOne in May.

It'll be interesting to see if Java for the iPhone will even be permitted by Apple (one of their rules regarding the iPhone SDK is that processes can't run other processes.. aka something like Java).

he is supposed to have said it when competitors started to draw customers away from the model t ford by offering a choice of colors and similar.

at the time the model t was available in one color, black, and one t-ford was just like any other t-ford.

basically its a contradictory statement about allowing customer choice, as long as they choose the way the seller tells them to...

heh, looking at that page, it seems my recollection of it is a bit more dramatic then the actual facts.

And as so often with these things, incorrect. The model-T ford wasn't even originally available in black, just red, green or grey, and after that a variety of colours, but by 1916 it appears mostly black as it dried quickest.
