Apple sneaks Java support onto the iPhone
Despite public comments by Steve Jobs that "Java’s not worth building in [to the iPhone]", it turns out that Apple did just that by using an ARM-based CPU that supports Java natively. Programmers cannot (yet) take advantage of this, but Apple could, if they wanted, ship a software upgrade to enable it. Small, efficient, hardware-accelerated Java games and multimedia for your iPhone could be closer than you think.
