Star Snap Sun Decision Launches Java at iPhone
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sat 8th Mar 2008 19:07 UTC, submitted by Moochman
Apple 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.

I was given my phone to be used during office hours only


If that is the case, your free time is indeed your free time, but you don't have the phone then, only during work hours...

Part of the deal is that I can use the phone for personal use up to a max of €50 a month. Anything above that I have to pay for.

It's a really good deal and part of a larger packages my employer uses to find and keep good employees.
