Why do they release their own version? Also why don't they allow Java on their portable devices? I'm looking for their specific reason, something besides "Apple are Nazis".

Because everything about Apple is proprietory and they want it that way, and they want to keep it that way.

But surely there is a better reason? They don't seem to mind Python or Perl for their computers being made by someone else, why just java?

Well, they just anounced they are not going to do it anymore. BTW, other's can make a jvm for Apple, Apple just is not providing the information necessary to make it. We'll have to see how much that changes since they are not going to do it anymore, and who they are going to give it to (if anyone).
