> The article says the platforms are all on Java.

No, it doesn't.

"I could have picked Symbian, BlackBerry, or Android. I could have written
software with a minimalist user interface -- a watered-down lowest common
denominator -- for a fragmented array of mobile devices. And they all
provide a Java development option, so my life would have been much
easier."

The "they all" in the third sentence refers to "Symbian, BlackBerry, or
Android". It does not refer to the iPhone.

Sun says there is no Java for the iPhone, though they'd like it, but Apple
isn't that interested:

The official iPhone SDK is just Objective-C, AFAIK. The API is apparently
similar to that of OS X, so Mac developers will feel right at home.

If you're willing to jailbreak your iPhone, I suspect there will be other
development languages available.
