Hi guys, There are any advantages(economically speaking) to put a Java chip into a digital camera(or a photo device)? I know the whole story with Java(reliable,portable,etc..) but i need to hear only the market related advantages.
best regards, Marius Stoian

Sure, for SUN. And maybe the Chipmaker of the "Java chip".
Interesting stories you know. Do you also know Stories of Marketdruids ?

Why a Java chip? Why not just leverage an ARM7 or ARM9 core?
This was attempted - achieved actually - by one of the biggish names in DSCs a couple of years ago. They used a software implementation. The phones in question had an optional wireless modem attachment. It was kind of a different route to the same appliance we have today, the camera-cellphone. They demonstrated it at CES in 2000 or 99. They were kind of hazy about the actual practical application of being able to run Java applets on a DSC - they demonstrated a couple of games, and they talked vaguely about vertical market applications, but I never heard of the product after the show.
Of course, most (all?) of today's camera-phones have a 32-bit core capable of running a JVM, and most of them have a software JVM AFAIK. Can't see the reason to add cost with a Java chip when the software JVM is fast enough.
I don't think that any of these (
