jPhone from Sun

At its JavaOne developer conference in San Francisco, Sun unveiled software for running cell phones.

The RoughlyDrafted.com article continues to say, "The stampede to position Sun's announcement as a credible threat to the iPhone neglects to consider a series of painful realities."
1) Sun doesn't expect the new software to be ready until months after the iPhone launch. ...
2) Sun has offered its Java 2 Mobile Edition for years ...
3) J2ME is really better described as ‘write once, debug everywhere, sell nowhere.’ ...

Of course, someone will come up with a competitve response to the iPhone. Just doesn't seem to me that the jPhone is likely to be it.
