This makes me want to dig out an old phone just to try. I'm not not even that into Facebook, but find this really impressive.

- jonknee 15y agoWhy is it impressive? Java apps for mobile phones have been around for at least 10 years. They could bring out a PalmOS app as well and I'd be just as about impressed. Outside of the developing world, people with feature phones aren't likely to install the app and are even less likely to have a data plan so that it can be used. It fills a checkbox on a presentation slide, but won't make a difference.
- spinchange 15y agoThe Java mobile apps my kids have (on their feature phones, with data their plans) and that I remember do not look this good. In my opinion it's meaningful to provide software that improves the functionality & UX for 2500 different lines of legacy mobile hardware even though that might not be "sexy."
