Where to buy that inflatible sheep: Use your Java ME cell phone

Sprint has added a new Java ME technology app that lets you use the GPS data from your cell phone to locate where to buy 85 million products from nearby stores.

See:

Use Java ME to shop til you drop

Here's a quote:

 The application, called Slifter, was 
 developed by New York City-based 
 GPShopper.  Slifter is already 
 available for free via SMS wireless 
 Web or Java application downloads on 
 almost any carrier's phone.  But until 
 now consumers have had to type in 
 their ZIP code to find products and 
 stores.
Cool stuff! I wonder what happens when you type "iPhone" and you're standing on the corner of N. De Anza Blvd. & Infinite Loop in Cupertino, Calif... Hmmm... I don't have a Sprint phone, so I wouldn't know.
