Polycom (makers of those funky-butt conference phones) came up with the QSX phone which adds remote computer content sharing using Java technology on the remote side.

See:

Polycom funky-butt conference phone gets Java-enabled

Here's a quote:

   Participants see content in 
   one of two ways: QSX-enabled 
   rooms see the content 
   automatically though the 
   room’s projector or display; 
   locations without QSX can see 
   the content through a standard, 
   Java-enabled web browser.

Hey... Doesn't the Polycom conference phone look like one of those funky-butt spaceships from War of the Worlds? Coincidence...? I think NOT! ;-)

The next generation cell phones have a common theme: better camera resolution, 3G networking, and advanced Java games (using a J2ME 3D engine). Below is a link to the Australian company, 3 (that's actually their name, kinda like Madonna or Cher but with a number instead of a single name), which is pushing the very manly Sony Ericsson Z800i with a 1.3 M pixel camera, 64MB storage, and a Java 3D Engine.

That's a phone with plenty of testosterone! OK, it's a lightweight at just over 5 ounces, but it's what's under the hood that counts.

Here's an easy way to access Bluetooth on your J2ME technology-enabled cell phone with the JSR 82 Java APIs. Using Rococo Software's development kit is an easy way to make use of Bluetooth on your phone. Make it talk to your laptop PC, PDAs, or other cell phones.

Rococo Software J2ME Bluetooth Development Kit

A good way to learn how to bluesnarf other people's cell phone address books and calendars, right? No, no, no! Use your J2ME powers for good, not evil. Embrace the light side of the Force. The Dark Side is tempting, I know... but you must be strong.

These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along...

Let me get this straight: Sorrent buys Macrospace (a European cell phone tech company) smooshes it together with their own content delivery department and rebrands that mash-up as Glu Mobile, which will deliver entertainment apps like games, ringtones, wallpaper, and news/info to your J2ME technology-enabled cell phone.

I'd think they were sipping on the Jonestown Kool-Aid if it weren't for the fact that they have tie-ins to Atari, Cartoon Network, FOX Sports and Nickelodeon. So, maybe it is a smart move.

Quote from the article:

  Industry analysts estimate that the mobile 
  content market will create revenue of up to 
  $59 billion by 2009, compared with $17.6 
  billion in 2005.  Games account for about a 
  third of that total, according to Juniper 
  Research.

The Code Monkeys (a Java game development company in the UK) wrote a new J2ME game for Nokia cell phones called "3D Pool". The game lets the user play pool on their phones with other cell phone users with the same game. Users can play (in all its glorious Java 3D cell phone graphical glory! ;-)) European 8 Ball, U.S. 8 Ball, or U.S. 9 Ball alone or versus other players online.

The Code Monkeys' butt kickin' 3D Pool J2ME game

Here's a quote:

  "The whole essence of shooting pool is 
  to play it with your friends and brag 
  about your last shot", said Elliot Gay, 
  Managing Director of The Code Monkeys. 
  "With Nokia SNAP Mobile we have been 
  able to take this atmosphere to mobile 
  phones and create the best connected 
  pool game available for mobile handsets 
  to date."
