Not at all.  As far as I get it, Java was INVENTED for the Embedded
market.

I don't know how much of what I know I can disclose (I work for Sun),
but you can see even in the press about the Sun/Symbian which was
struck just last week or so.  The deal is about embedding Java in the
Epoch OS, as far as I'm aware.

Symbian is not only important because it is co-owned by the largest
cellular manufacturers, who already agreed to standardize on Psion's
Epoch OS, but also because Psion are one of the largest Palm-top
computer makers, their OS is considered the main competitor for M$
WinCE (or at least used to be about a year ago).

Disclaimer - I speak only for myself.

Cheers,
