Back in 2007 when Apple released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, a much-heard criticism was the lack of support for Java 6. Leopard shipped with an older version of Java, 1.5, even though 1.6 had been released by Sun almost a year prior. Sun had already released Java 1.6 for Linux and Windows, but did not do so for Mac OS X, since Apple insists on developing their own version of Java, according to Sun. Now, 6 months later, Mac Java programmers can rejoice.

sun have a jvm for a lot of embedded system
also it's not the sun's job to create a jvm for all cpu...
sun provide an implementation... people can create a jvm if they want...
a lot of embdedded system use java to program... like muvium (www.muvium.com)... this system cpu is under 50Mhz...
don't forget java is a language...
if you find the jvm implementation you use, try to use another one... or try compagny who take the java code and convert it directly in c or asm...
you can try gcj... but for the majority of the test i done, it's slower than sun jvm
