We all should know the potential, not-yet-measured (?) performance issue 
is not the whole story at all.

The real reason is probably simply that there are tons of things that 
could go on the 770, and Java is not a priority...for now.

The powers that be can change that faster than you can expect...

So in the mean time let's all work on Java for Maemo simply knowing that 
Java kicks ass and they won't be able to ignore it for ever...:-)
