  1. Ogg Vorbis for the S/E P800 by questionlp · · Score: 2, Interesting

    InfoSync also has a news bit regarding an Ogg Vorbis(-only for now) player for the Sony Ericsson P800 cellphone. Now just think of you could have Ogg Vorbis ringtones ;)

  2. Excellent! by mike_sucks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now my plans for taking over the world using hordes of CLDC/MIDP MIDlets, all communicating via Bluetooth, can be realised! Soon, your phone will become your worst enemy...

    But seriously, I've heard this release includes an implementation of JSR-82, the standard Java API for Bluetooth. This will be very cool, you'll be able to write java apps for the P800 which can do Bluetooth!

    w00t!
