Isn't this a bit like "one day there will be no more html email" ? And
"one day everyone will use Outlook so they too can share viri"? 

If phones are connected to a network full time (in the way that imode
phones half are) there will be a class of users who want the *absolute
security* of knowing that nothing they download can run on their phone -
whatever secure sandbox it is supposed to run in. What comes after Java? 
Emacs? (lisp - I know)... 

There is another class of users who just want the smallest phone possible
and who they are interested primarily in voice communication. 

Neither have any interest in Java.

BTW - is it not a pain that docomo have no special billing deals for those
who use voice not at all ('coz it is so grungy) but do use the
browser.....?
