Apparently at least a few people think that the iPhone will be a hit:

I first saw a screenshot similar to this on a Flickr photo stream belonging to Dave Shea (a fellow Vancouverite, I might add). I jumped over to Google Finance to take a peak myself, and the picture says a thousand words. It’ll be interesting to see how things progress over the next 6 months, but in the mean-time I’ll admit I’m salivating over the pretty iPhone.

Lots of questions seem to be going around, especially with regards to Java support, and I found an interesting quote from Mr. Jobs hisself, surrounding Java support for the iPhone:

Java’s not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It’s this big heavyweight ball and chain.
-Steve Jobs

I found this quote via David Pogue’s Blog which was in turn a quote from an interview that John Markoff had with His Steveness.

I’m not sure if Steve has jumped on the Rails bandwagon (yah, that was supposed to be funny), or if he just has a hate on for Java in general. It’s also worth noting that up to date Java support on Mac OS X seems to be a bit lacking as well. In order to run Java 5, Mac OS X 10.4 was required, and now it’s sounding like in order to run Java 6, a mandatory update to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) will be required as well.
