My word! Java ME word by word

Here's an article about BuddyBuzz which allows Java ME technology-enabled phones to display text such as that from blogs, news articles, short messages, etc. to show up word by word across your cell phone display and allow you to read more efficiently. Or so they claim...

See:

BuddyBuzz Java ME reader

Here's a quote:

  The idea behind BuddyBuzz isn't new. 
  The concept of Rapid Serial Visual 
  Presentation dates back to the 1970s, 
  although it was not until later that 
  it emerged as a means of improving 
  reading efficiency. 
Something cool for Java ME technology to help with on a cell phone, although as the article points out it's not meant to be used for reading "academic papers" on your cell phone. Uh... if you're trying to read academic papers on your cell phone, I'd bet your optometrist is making loads of money off you. :-)
