Running Java/KVM on a cell phone is cool indeed !
The problem with current technology is that embedded processor such as the Arm9 they use in their Nokia phone aren't efficient enough to run your everyday embedded software on.
Running a Full cldc compliant VM on an ARM would require high clock and result in high power consumption.
Just so you know it's comming, we're building a Java Wireless Processor here at Zucotto Wireless that will let you run Java 20x faster than a current Arm based solution at low power consumption. We are targeting embedded market such as cell phone.
We already demonstrated your idea at JavaOne using not only KVM but BlueTooth wireless protocol to unlock the door of a BMW car, synch up your GPS, upload your MP3 and play them with the car radio and so on :)
So the next phone I'll buy will have to be Java indeed but also provide me with some Wireless high bandwidth protocol so I can play with my wireless lan inside my house :)
