A wise fool ponders iPhone's lack of Java ME tech

The guys at Motley Fool love to rag on Sun Microsystems stock price in general (eh, who can blame 'em?). But, sometimes they hit the nail on the head, like with their analysis of Apple's resistance to put Java ME technology on the Apple, Inc. iPhone.

See:

Motley Fool ponders Apple's lack of Java ME

Here's a quote:

 While there's been plenty of buzz 
 about the new features of the next-
 generation Apple, Inc. iPhone, 
 there's also been a lot of talk 
 about what the device still lacks.
 ...
 Apple, Inc.'s hesitance bucks the 
 trend followed by just about every 
 other mobile device maker.  Nokia 
 and Motorola have long embraced 
 Java as a means to get advanced 
 capabilities plugged into their 
 devices, making phones more than 
 just, well, phones.
Yes, that's a Motley Wise analysis. Java ME technology does make a cell phone more than just a cell phone. Hearing that makes me want to join the Motley Crew... :-) I wonder if I need to have big 80's hair to do that?
