“We have believed for a long time that mobile computing is the next wave and that there’s going to be a wave of innovators in the mobile space. I don’t know when these companies will appear, but I think you’ll see some exciting IPOs in the mobile space when the public market opens up again, and some of them will probably become the next Yahoos, Googles and Amazons.” - Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy in an interview with BusinessWeek’s Maria Bartiromo. Joy, who works at the Silicon Valley VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, is the man behind the company’s iFund that’s committed to investing $100 million in companies that are developing software and services for the iPhone/iPod touch platform.
