It's possible to implement JavaScript in Java - see Mozilla's Rhino project. But I don't expect to see it show up in Mobi's Java based reader any time soon. The Rhino Jar file is 750K. Mobi would have to do a lot of trimming to get a subset they could implement that would provide the required support and still be a reasonably compact file to install on a cell phone.
