Hi Michael:

The wisdom so far has been that the Jini Surrogate architecture is the
way to let non-Java (or at least non-full-JDK) devices act as
participants in a Jini network.  Basically, the device reaches out to a
surrogate host that is willing to host a Java-based "surrogate" that can
participate fully in the Jini network, and act as a protocol bridge to
the limited device.

Sadly, the original Surrogate container (called Madison if memory serves
me) is of unkown copyright/license provenance, so can't be brought
cleanly over to Apache. 

I'm working on a clean re-implementation of the Surrogate architecture,
however as a side-project, the deadline is "indefinite".  I also don't
have an iPhone, but thought I might try something with a Blackberry at
some point.

Some background info on Surrogate can be found at:
