Sun developing Java Virtual Machine for iPhone
I was under the impression that Apple said they wouldn’t allow code parser such as Sun’s JVM on the iPhone.
Sun came to the conclusion it could make a JVM work on the iPhone after taking 24 hours to look at information on Apple's SDK. Sun saw nothing in the public statements preventing the JVM from being one of the applications enabled on the iPhone, said Klein. Apple released the SDK ... continued »

Apple release official iPhone SDK Roadmap announcement video
interest in iPhone SDK announcements is fast reaching saturation point (meaning we can all move on to theorising about whether the 3G iPhone will be announced at the WWDC, predicted to be in June) so as to underline the whole event Apple have put up a video of the full presentation.

iPhone 2.0 features mass deleting and moving emails & view PowerPoint presentations
Is June here yet? Why? Because I can’t wait to get my sweaty palms on the iPhone 2.0 firmware! According to the press release, iPhone 2.0 will let you move or delete emails in mass.
