There is a lot of truth in what you say. Sun SPOTs can be shipped outside the US by Systronix (since May 2007) and also now are starting to ship outside the US by Sun direct. If Sun will license the SPOT JVM for commercial use, it could open up a lot of markets for ARM-based embedded Java.

Great bot!
I am sure Java has great potential in robotics too.
But usually there are many problems yet: no free realtime java implementation (JSR1 or new version); no good standard hardware for small java devices, all go their own way (aJile, Cjip, JOP, jazelle...);
and this SunSPOT cannot be shipped outside US :(
