No, as Steve Jobs stated when interviewed about that question in 2007 he answered
That's not the truth, but at least you can be sure you can't embed an applet into the browser.. |

THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE...if you are willing to jailbreak. there is now an app on CYDIA that allows the IPhone to use Java. see instructions here NOTE:have not accually tried myself as my IPhone is stuck in infinite boot loop and i haven't fixed it yet, but i'm assuming that this will work.(so don't down vote if it fails, just leave a comment saying so.) |

No. No VM is allowed on iPhone OS. Hence, no java, no flash... nothing but iPhone OS only! Sad but true. |

No, the iPhone does not support Java inside or outside the browser. If you are wondering if it will ever be possible, the answer is almost certainly no. Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying, "Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain." |
