Not a general VM, but WebKit on the iPhone runs JavaScript.

Although, I guess, In the current implementation that is, more than  
likely, the old syntax tree driven JavaScript interpreter and not the  
bytecode based Nitro engine... yet. give it until Tuesday of next week.

That doesn't mean, of course, that you would have any direct access to  
the bytecode VM, but still... the phone could be running a VM then. :-D
