50 percent of all people on Earth have a cell phone

Reuters reports that 50 percent of all people on Earth have a cell phone. And, more importantly, if you extrapolate and take the estimate that 8 out 10 of all cell phones are Java ME technology-enabled, that makes the number at about 2.6 billion Java ME tech-enabled cell phones on Earth.

Lots of Java ME tech-enabled cell phones

Here's a quote:

 Worldwide mobile telephone 
 subscriptions reached 3.3 
 billion -- equivalent to 
 half the global population 
 -- on Thursday, 26 years 
 after the first cellular 
 network was launched, 
 research firm Informa 
 said.
That's a whole lotta people playing Bejeweled and Tetris!
