Most 9.x firmware is for MP4 players with color displays, but you will occasionally find a basic mono LCD player with a '91 or '93 chip and 9.x firmware.

The ATJ2089 and '97 do have support for camera functionality, but it seems most if not all manufacturers didn't add the feature.

I know, I used to own a small b/w mp3 player - i never used the firmware update but it probably was an actions/s1mp3.
The actions 3.x devices probably did support colour and therefore a camera, but at the time there was no real point in a colour screen.

well i owned 2 actions MP3 players myself. and clubduckling is right, back then, color screens and cameras were not sought after. but come to think of it, none of the actions MPx players i've seen had a camera...
