Capturing photos with Arduino

Hi

I'm thinking of using an Arduino to control a OmniVision Cameracube http://www.ovt.com/products/cameracube.php It basically involves capturing a still image upon command and sending it back via bluetooth. Does the Arduino have enough power to convert the raw stream to jpeg? How should one get started with converting to jpeg? I have no idea how to convert from a raw stream. :~

Thanks

No.

Find a different processor, it's no go on here for this. Not enough memory, or CPU power.

No. Not near enough memory, for one thing.

I have no idea how to convert from a raw stream.

And google completely failed you? Hard to believe.
