You do the math: SimMobile works on over 600 handsets, iPhone apps on 1 handset

You do the math. When you write a Java ME application, like Simdesk's SimMobile, despite all the blah-blah-blah about fragmentation this and fragmentation that, it works on many different phone handsets. When you write an app for the iPhone, it works on one measly handset.

See:

About to kick RIM's butt: Simdesk's Java ME enabled SimMobile

Here's a quote:

 Initially, SimMobile will be available 
 as a hosted service provided by carriers, 
 but in future the company aims to let 
 enterprise customers operate a server 
 behind their corporate firewall.  It can 
 operate on any handset that is Java 
 J2ME compatible...
Well, I guess if you strive for mediocrity you choose something other than Java ME technology. There's no accounting for bad decision making... :-)
