iPhone-Java Solution: alcheMo can port Java-based games, apps to iPhone and iPod Touch. Innaworks has announced their beta-stage "alcheMo" application that will port Java-based games and applications to work on the iPhone and iPod Touch. alcheMo allows developers to convert their standard Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) application and game source code into iPhone source code. It's not the same as running Java directly on the iPhone, but it's the next best thing.

"With the expected introduction of iPhone's AppStore in June, iPhone is emerging as a serious gaming platform. We are amazed by the effectiveness of the touch screen and accelerometer on enhancing gaming experience. We expect the early backers among game publishers to significantly benefit from their first mover advantage. alcheMo for iPhone will help mobile game publishers to reach the eagerly awaiting gamers with quality games on iPhone and iPod touch," said Stephen Cheng, CEO Innaworks.

alcheMo for iPhone incorporates a patent-pending optimizing translator to convert Java ME application source code to equivalent application source code for iPhone. The ability to convert Java apps for the iPhone opens up an entire world of gaming for the iPhone.
