Am I the only one that finds this interesting since the format Apple is supporting for HD content is BluRay, which uses Java for all the interactive menus or BD-J discs. He is supporting a next gen format which supports a technology that he claims nobody uses anymore.

Would you also intentionally misread that statement and argue that "Yes, there are indeed still Pintos on the road"?
Give it up. You love the Steve and feel woefully inferior to him.

Yes, you are correct. Nobody drive Pintos anymore -- they explode. BluRay uses Java -- which doesn't cause any deaths.

Nobody at Apple uses Java anymore because they have access to OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and have abandoned Java for the bundled Ruby on Rails!

Well BluRay is a pretty small dot on the radar. But what about approximately 1 billion phones that will sell this year that have Java capabilities? Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, LG, NEC, Sharp have all standardised on J2ME, the mobile Java version to support over the air mobile application download. To not support Java means to alienate thousands of mobile application developers. Heck, even most Windows Mobile devices ship with a J2ME emulator. Not having downloadable app capabilities is the iPhone's Achilles heal and Jobs knows this. He's just covering up so people don't notice this weak spot, but it's as obvious for anyone with a keen eye as the DRM is flawed in iTunes. All part of the big plan.

When asked about it, Jobs was specifically being asked about Java applets on iPhone, whether they would see Java (or Flash) support in iPhone's web browser. Naturally, his comment should only be interpreted to how it applies to Safari on the iPhone, not his overall view of the technology.
BluRay is irrelevant. This post is pointless.
