Mobile Karaoke? Yikes!

Here's an article from India talking about how wireless carriers see growth of 100% in downloadable Java ME apps and want more non-gaming lifestyle apps to drive demand.

Lifestyle Java ME apps coming your way

Here's a quote: 

  Gaming has been dominating the 
  applications market so far, but 
  cell operators are now pushing 
  content providers to generate 
  relevant non-gaming lifestyle 
  content... with various killer 
  applications like mobile karaoke 
  in the pipeline.
Mobile karaoke! Egads! People driving while talking on their cell phones are bad enough. Now, we'll have people driving and singing Captain and Tennille: 
  Love.  Love will keep us together
  Think of meeee baaaabe whenever...
  La, la, la, la-la, la-la-laaaaaaa...

Ack!
