Thursday January 25, 2007 Pulling always on Java ME cell phone users
This article says that 80% of U.S. consumers have cell phones with them everywhere and 60% even go on to take their cell phones to bed every night. Let's pause here and let everyone insert your own jokes... (for instance, ...and 85% of those cell phones in turn claimed they had headaches!). Ba-rrr-dum-dum. Good. Now that we got that out of the way... See: Java ME cell phones are always on Here's a quote: Most marketers have been slow to realize the potential of the mobile device as a powerful "pull" platform. Here are six examples that are ahead of the trend. > Bacardi Radio. Blue Star recently created a new Java application to stream a Bacardi radio station to mobiles via... (GPRS).So, if your Java ME cell phone is always on, why aren't you programming it to do stuff in the background, like once a day grab stock quotes and news, or pull down the latest wall paper for your screen and a new ringtone every morning? There are lots of interesting things a Java ME phone can do if you think of it as a little mini-server spinning away in your pocket. |
