T-Mobile bans 3rd party Java ME apps on feature phones

Here's an article about T-Mobile banning 3rd party downloaded apps on their new set of feature phones (but not their smartphones). That means no cool 3rd party Java ME apps like Opera Mini or Google Local for their high volume cell phones... What a p*sser!

See:

T-Mobile bans downloaded Java ME apps

Here's a quote:

 This means T-Mobile feature 
 phone users are prohibited 
 from surfing the Web with 
 Opera Mini, checking maps 
 on Google Local for Mobile, 
 listening to podcasts with 
 Mobilcast, and using any 
 other form of software not 
 pre-approved by T-Mobile.
What a dopey move by T-Mobile! I guess they really don't want their customers to use their wireless data network. A truly boneheaded decision.
