El Reg reports: "Less than a day after Apple unveiled its much-discussed iPhone SDK, Sun Microsystems has told the world it will build a Java Virtual Machine for Steve Job's handheld status symbol. 'We're very excited,' Eric Klein, Sun's vice president of Java marketing, told the The Reg. 'We've spent the last 24 hours furiously looking through what information was made publicly available, and we feel comfortable enough at this point on the information we have to commit the engineering resources to bring the JVM over to the iPhone and the iTouch as fast as our schedules and Apple's release schedule will allow.'" Sun plans to distribute the JVM free of cost via the App store.

As the official .net zealot on this site, I was downright itching to bite at that. Why did you have to make it so obviously a joke??
If I wasn't a .net guy with a serious outlook 2007 addiction, working at a business which is end to end microsoft, I would so own an iPhone, so it just goes to show that .net availablility does affect some people. Even with the abusive lock in policies it is hands down the most gorgeous phone on the market. Apart from the interface made of pure sex, and the only usable soft-keyboard on the market, the way they handle voice mail is so obviously the way it should be done in the digital age, it is embarrassing that nobody came up with it before them.
I just invested 700$ into a new HTC TyTN II though, so that has somewhat reduced my phone envy.
