Jeez, either somebody didn't listen to the MP3 in the article, or has never heard Phish mess around on stage.

I really must protest. This new product from Simedia aims to give circuses everywhere a black eye. This product (if you can call it that) works with the popular Nokia 7650 and 3650 series of phones to provide callers with fake background noise. Now, this alone does not bother me. If people what to lie about where they are, thats up to them. What bothers me is the company is encouraging people to pretend that they are caught at a circus parade. Don't circuses get blaimed for enough traffic messes?

Oh, wait. I could use this. Every one would think I was at the show when I called. Maybe it's not such a bad idea...

SounderCover is available for immediate purchase for the price of 14.95 and a demo version is available for download.

...sound here will get busted. Too many horns. I'd know it was fake and I'd think most people would.

Mine might[1], but your phone will have to support sockets, if not you could try ActiveViewer.

[1] VNC only, not SSH.

ActiveViewer is the first VNC client for J2ME-enabled handsets. It works on pretty much anything, from Siemens handsets to Blackberry pagers and color-screen Nokia 7650/3650. Razvan

We have developed our own IVR system using SIP and RTP (in Java) and it runs pretty well on both Linux and Windows. We're planning on getting an Asterisk system together with the boards from Digium to bridge from the "PSTN world" to the "VoIP world". It looked like a great solution for that, we want something that's reasonably cheap and that can just allow customers on PSTN lines to connect to our IVR systems.

SIMDEDA GmbH from Germany (http://www.simeda.com/activeviewer/) has implemented a VNC client in Java that runs on mobile phones with GPRS or CSD connections. That was news in November last year ...

SIMEDA Gmbh has a VNC viewer for the new Java-enabled phones (e.g. all new models from Nokia coming out this spring) and PDAs. True, not very speedy (goes over GPRS), but more "wireless" than something that needs to be within a few meters of the desktop computer. And at least VNC is open, so you can connect to Unix, Windows, Mac, whatever. All that from your cell phone.
