Java compiles itself, and it has for years now.

I want (and have) a phone that makes phone calls. I don't really want my
phone to do much (if anything) else.

And the use of Java on Linux seems fairly ludicrous to me. There may have
been good reasons to use Java when there were lots of different phone OS's
and hardware platforms, but since just about everything runs some sort of
Linux-on-ARM/XScale nowadays, why not just compile?

%!PS: I personally am more interested in what Trolltech is doing with Qtopia
(which has existed for a while now), but they don't have nearly the kind of
marketing power that Google does.
