J2ME Wireless Snitching - the Next Big Craze

This is cool. Using a J2ME cell phone, you can tag locations of things, like your favorite restaurant, or a gas station selling gas under $2/gal (are there still any???) :-) or a police speed-trap, then broadcast it for others to see the important info on a map on their cell phones.

See: http://wavemarket.com/products.html

Good use of J2ME tech.

But, kids will probably wind up using it to keep track of the vice principal I bet! :-) Another reason to keep cell phones out of schools.

Saw this company (WaveMarket) in Phoenix at Demo 2004. They have more than just tagging locations - their WaveBlog product creates location aware multimedia weblogs. As a public blog, the user can generate comments and pictures that you categorize, rank, etc.. Pretty cool but not much buzz at the conference. That will change as blogging becomes more mainstream.
