Houston, we have liftoff...

Chris P. just sent me his latest diff to allow our Java ME CDC/Foundation Profile to build for iPhoneOS/ARM (to run on the actual iPhone device, not just the simulator). So, here it is: Java ME running on an iPod Touch (yeah, I know you're going to complain it's not the iPhone. Don't tase me, bro. The iPod Touch is the same diff. ;-) )

See:

Java ME CDC/FP running on iPod Touch

You know I didn't doctor these photos, since you can see the timestamp and evidence of my fat-finger typos trying to type in the password and command in the first photo. :-) Freakin' Apple touchscreen..! ;-)

Seriously, what's with the iPhone obsession. It's an insignificant little over-hyped phone, which only got one thing right - the gimmicky interface.

Did you thought of working on the Java SE port to arm OSX itself ?

There has been lot of work here including for ARM1176JZF ;-)

See http://gbenson.net/?p=64

There is clearly some possibility for anybody with darwin compile skills ;-)

@Bradley, no obsession, just facts. Sometime a little overhypped (see little bluetooth profile support : no stereo headset mode, no PAN mode, etc ... no IPv6, no memorycard, no exchangable battery ... no 3G, no GPS... OS stability, bugs), but at the end this is the best mobile tool available that outperform windows mobile or symbian counterparts (including blackerry). Those who have played with the apple "multitouch" inferface and browsed using MobileSafari for a while and had to go back to Windows Mobile or Blackberry knows what I am talking about : serious browser + serious HCI = genuine internet experience on the go !
