I love this article! A quote:

Mhm, how about a typical scenario...lets take Curt's date as
an example: She is annoyed about so much spam on her DoCoMo
handset, but since she owns one of the 9 million Java
capable phone she just starts coding in J2ME or Java in her
commuting time and develops a anti spam software working on
her phone and interacting with DoCoMo's server. After she is
done, she is happy and has more time for her date. Great!
I know that the economy is weak, but do journalists get paid
these days?
This somehow reminds me about the discussions with some
programmers I have to survive every single day:
He: Juergen, I thought, uh, instead of implementing all
these functions you asked us for, we, uh, thought, uh, that
this is not very flexible for the, uh, user. So we discussed
this in the lunch break and, uh, came up with this idea,
here I show you (fiddling around with a handset).
We implemented a command line where the user can run his own
SQL statements, isn't it cool?
Me: No.
