Java Client on the iPhone/iPod Touch could be really cool, but without custom UI extensions to deal with the touch interface, I think you'll end up with a very non-Touch feel and therefor alien-feeling app. Sure it would be functional, but not really a "Touch" application. Now, with Swing/SWT/Whatever-Touch extensions, that has possibilities...

As far as Direct To Java Client, unfortunately I think it is all but dead. It's deprecated, even though I've had some success getting it running under 5.4.1, it is no longer supported and the number of people out there using it numbers in the handful.

D2JC was wonderful and I'm really not looking forward to building every piece of my JC UI from scratch, but I think it's time to move on, to more robust and supported Java Client technologies. Florijan Stamenkovic's, Paulo Sommaruga's or similar new JC framework should really be at the core of any WO Java Client app moving forward.

What's the word on JBND's WO 5.4.1 compatibility? Any issues that you
know of?

Any thoughts from out there on running DTJC on the iPhone.

I spent three months with DTJC and although the project went nowhere it was interesting to experience the native client feel.

Sun announced they were going to make a J2ME for the iPhone.

Objective-C might be more fun but that seems too much of a stretch.
