Hey you goober, use Yoober with Java ME technology

Yoober is a Java ME application for your cell phone that lets you bypass the regular fee-based SMS text messaging that your wireless carrier provides and instead utilizes the Internet for sending free text messages. Arrrr, raise the pirate flag, matey! We're not paying any extra doubloons to the feckless carriers for text! We'll use it for free!

See:

Yoober free Java ME text messaging

Here's a quote: 

 All that users need is a 
 phone that supports Java 
 (pretty much all the major 
 brands such as Nokia, 
 Motorola, Samsung, Sony 
 Ericsson and LG) and some 
 sort of mobile internet 
 connection or package 
 (CDMA, GPRS, 2.5G or 3G). 
 If you can download and 
 play games, your phone 
 should work fine with 
 Yoober.
Here's another case of a start-up singing the "write-once, run-anywhere" refrain of Java ME technology. Oy, what ever happened to FlashLite anyways? Wasn't that supposed to be a threat way back in aught five or aught six? Guess it was never really all that... Choosy programmers choose Java ME technology.

Hey there,

This thing sounds interesting! Do you have the website address? I'd like to stick it to my Telco as well ;)

Also, do you know where i can find some reliable stats on J2ME enabled devices? And penetration by continent?

Thanks for your help,

Jim
