Very Cool Java Applications for mobiles

Few weeks back, I bought a new mobile Nokia 6300; and its a pretty awesome mobile, not that its the most functionally enhanced device in market, but for 13K you get a lot.

Anyways this post is not about Nokia 6300 it about some new mobile applications that you can download and enjoy with your java enabled cell phones; for connectivity I am using Ufone GPRS service in Pakistan, these application should work with any GPRS based service available anywhere.


GMAIL
To start with we have GMAIL client for mobiles, just go to gmail.com/app from your cell phone built in browser, it will download a small application and Voila! There would be a icon in your application fodler, and You have your full sexy gmail account on your cell; You can read mails, reply, delete, open pdfs & images etc. As I use gmail very often so this was actually useful for me.

For more details go here, http://www.google.com/mobile/mail/index.html



OperaMini
Another interesting download is opera browser, just go to operamini.com from your mobile and wasssup! A very good looking, fast browser is installed on which you can read RSS feeds etc and everything.
Plus as per Opera ppl, it’s very efficient as well.

For details, http://www.operamini.com/


Agile Messenger (Yahoo, MSN, Googletalk etc)
Third is Agile Messenger in which we can chat and all(MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk etc) J2ME application installs itself directly to the mobile, open the following URL in your mobile phone's WAP or WWW browser: http://www.agilemobile.com/am.jad


BBC News watcher
And the last one is BBC News Watcher,
Just go to this page, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/6228169.stm, give your details, and they will send you an SMS instantly with the download link, download it to your mobile, and you can have very kool looking Mail watcher on your mobile. Again very kool!. My mobile phone was not in the list of phone on which the application works, but I downloaded it for the nearest match, and its working perfectly. (my phone is Nokia 6300 and they had application for Nokia 6280).

Vitual PCs, Perfect for Testing different OS

VirtualPC

At my work I had to make a cluster of machines to setup Voip Solution. For that we needed at least two Linux machines to install Asterisk (http://www.trixbox.org/) on it and then play around with it.

One solution to do that is installing physical machines and then installing the VoIP servers on it, but there was a simpler way and maan! Its kool.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (Free from Microsoft Waaaaow!)

&

Also free one - VMWARE - The future of Virtualization -www.vmware.com-

Thanks to VMware I have been able to set-up testing lab in on my 12’’ laptop! Awesome! Rite now I am running a Debian and a Fedora working perfectly with different IPs, No need to format to Linux file systems, No GRUB Boot loader or anything. Unbelievable!

At first I thought …. OK, maybe it can do this but with a substantial loss in performance and reliability. How wrong was I!

VMware have a lot of options but MS one is Simpler, both are free though.

Musharaf is on the Hot Seat! chk this out, it's Funny!

Few Nice Lines

One of a board members at my company resigned, on the bottom of his mail he quoted this "Rubaii", I really liked it.

With them the Seed of Wisdom did I sow,
And with my own hand labour'd it to grow:
And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd --
"I came like Water and like Wind I go." (Attributed to Omar Khayyam)

Allisson Stokke an unknown babe is becoming super popular! And the fact that she hates it makes "interesting" :)

A new funny/disturbing hype over the blogging world; Allisson Stokke wasn’t exactly famous a few weeks ago but suddenly this 18 year old athlete (pole vaulter) and student from California got really famous. Google came up with 905,000 results (which is a LOT for such a girl) on this unknown athlete and student. An amateur homepage started posting her pictures. She hates the attention because she just wanna be a normal girl doing normal things. (Yeah rite!)

chk out the story abt her, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/28/AR2007052801370.html

but yet again, look at her and god bless the internet!! :)

Well!! AplologyAccepted :)

Funny!
