Cisco and Motorola sittin' in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Oopsy. Here's a better article that the stale Register article that I pointed to this morning. (Thanks to Ludvig for pointing that out!) This is about how Cisco and Motorola are teaming up to deliver a dual-mode phone that can roam between cellular networks and WiFi networks.

See:

Cisco and Motorola team up to deliver a seamless dual-mode cell/WiFi phone

You can now use your Java ME technology-enabled phone to switch between the GSM network or go over you company's WiFi network when your in the office. Nice for the Enterprise world to not pay for GSM service when you can use your company's PBX using VoIP via a WiFi access point from your work's IP network. Saves a lot of money.

Are you aware of the fact that the article you linked to is from year 2000? And that Ericsson stopped making consumer products as part of their new strategy developed in that time (Sony-Ericsson is a part of that story)? And that the prototype in question was abandoned, very quickly after the announcements? I am pretty sure Sony-Ericsson has something along the lines of this coming up, but in the meantime, a much more advanced unit is being developed by Nokia for release this autumn (sorry, can't remember the product number). That said, a blatant flame: the Web Services story in J2SE back in 2000 was worse than poor. The SOAP spec was released in v0.7 in -99, and as the term Web Services emerged in the beginning, the Java support was, in short, NIL for all practical purposes.

Oops! You're right. Looks like that's old (very old) news. Nevermind.

I blame Google. Google said that link changed about 9 hours ago. See first line of this news.google.com search:

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&scoring=d&q=java+linux+broadband+bluetooth&btnG=Search+News

I should've checked the time stamp on the by-line closer, but I'll have to update to a new story.

Thanks for catching that, Ludvig!
