Google Maps on your cell
Mobile GMaps - Google Maps on your mobile phone!: "Mobile GMaps is a free piece of software that displays Google Maps and Keyhole satellite imagery on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones or other devices."
Dan Schulman gets it
The CEO of Virgin Mobile understands that putting MP3 in a cellphone needs to be a stellar high speed experience. No ifs or buts. If you think MP3 downloads will fill those 3G pipes - think again. Cellphone MP3 convergence will only be successful if there is a TRUE high-speed connection, like a wire or maybe Wi-Fi:
"Daniel Schulman, head of Virgin Mobile USA, has hit out at rival cell companies who are trying to launch pay-per-tune services. 'I believe that ignoring the PC as an integral part of what at least the youth market accepts as its music experience is the wrong thing to do. Anyone who is thinking about over-the-air downloads needs to have a stellar experience, snd we wouldn’t want to launch something that would frustrate our customers.”
