NEWS Japanese chip-maker Fujitsu is turning to Sun Microsystems in an attempt to get Java used in the company's processors for the embedded fields market. Already a large player in electrical appliances for the home, Fujitsu hopes teaming up with Sun will enhance the development of new technologies. The solution is based around the picoJava-II core architecture and Fujitsu's J-Starterkit for the picoJava-II architecture. Fujitsu claims this will enable devices including handhelds, communications tools and home and office equipment to faster development, debugging and deployment. The products will be available from 1 June.
