I recently found out that my LG KS360 supposedly has a 400MHz proccessor.
IIRC I used to run Pov-Ray 3.1 on a 333Mhz machine in 1997. My cellphone
is a lot slower than the 33MHz Celeron I had to work on back then, so I
guess the culprit is RAM. Which brings me to the question: Do Cell-phones
have RAM? If so, how can I tell how much?
Would it be possible to make a simple .jar ray-tracer to run on a
cell-phone?

Several printers have comparaible processors also. I haven't tried
running a ray tracer yet, but I've run various fractal generators on
printers. (You see, laser printers almost always accept PostScript
input, and not many people realise this, but PostScript isn't a data
format, it's a *programming language*.)

Not necesarily.
Maybe it's software inefficiency. Maybe it's running some kind of
background task that you don't know about. Maybe it loads software from
flash RAM which is really slow. All sorts of maybies.

If it's a von Neumann computer, it has primary storage. It's barely
possible to design a computer without RAM. (Think about it; the phone's
display framebuffer must be stored somewhere...)
Figuring out *how much* is an entirely different matter, however. ;-)

I have no idea.

I have a n900 which runs maemo, a linux derivate. It should be possible to port
POVray to that platform.
Might be interesting ;)
One more thing the iPhone can't do. :)

What, you mean there isn't an app for that?

Definitely so. But why just a *simple* one? On modern phones, you have
all the APIs in there to even set up a render farm of BT phones... >_<
(no, not kidding this time)

Hmm... I once wrote a PostScript program to compute a Mandelbrot
fractal... writing a POV-Ray SDL parser might be a fun project...
... not! >_<

Like this?
http://warp.povusers.org/MandScripts/ps.html
I wrote an IFS somewhere or other, as well as the inevitable L-system.

Er, yeah. Text processing is *not* PostScript's strong point.
Actually, if you want to parse all the macro-related stuff, it's kinda
nontrivial in *any* language!

Since you can compile C++ code for the iPhone, I wonder if POV-Ray could
be compiled for it with some tweaking...
