Can I run a Java applet that's been embedded in an or HTML tag on an iPhone? I don't mean as an App but actually through its browser.

A:
No, the iPhone does not support Java inside or outside the browser.
If you are wondering if it will ever be possible, the answer is almost certainly no. Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying, "Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain."

No, as Steve Jobs stated when interviewed about that question in 2007 he answered
Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain.
That's not the truth, but at least you can be sure you can't embed an applet into the browser..

That is the stupid statement from Stev Jobs. It never become true. I am a .net senior developer but i never consider which is the best thing, it depends!!!
While I understand your sentiment, that's not a answer and shouldn't be posted as such.

No. No VM is allowed on iPhone OS.
Hence, no java, no flash... nothing but iPhone OS only!
Sad but true.
