Great find by JLaboda at Clearstation. This person is also jimee11 on Raging Bull. From : jlaboda Jul 4 1999 4:47PM Re : ALL ALL -- One of the magazines which I read is called 'Java Report'. Every so many months the magazine includes an issue of a journal titled 'Strategic Platforms'. In the Spring 1999 issue, there was an article titled 'JAVA..Driving a Revolution In Embedded Systems'. The article essentially explained all the environments, tools, and applications readily available for deployment of products in embedded devices. Of particular intrest, International Data Corporation (IDC) "...has predicted that the embedded systems market will hit the 6-billion-dollar mark by 2000." One of the tools metioned for embedded application deployment was the PSC1000 chip by Patriot Scientific Corporation. Mike Carenzo was quoted in the article with excellent comments. "According to Mike Carenzo, president & CEO of Patriot Scientific Corporation, PersonalJava has proven to be "a perfect fit" for devices built around his company's PSC1000 Java native microprocessor family. "The PersonalJava/PSC1000 combination allows OEMs to design low-cost, high-performance Internet appliances," he says, "while maintaining compatibility with the Java-enabled enterprise desktop." Overall, the article was insightful and informative for Information Technology developers migrating to the embedded application arena. The ability to develop digital devices and embedded applications will require numerous "tools" from both the software and hardware spectrum. Patriot Scientific has gained an "advantage" in the Java-enabled chip market by being the "first" to enter. Lets hope "alliances" with manufacturers are not far off. - J
