In a certain high profile Irish university all machines have their own real world ips and NAT is forbidden.
However, they only thing they can access is a web proxy.
While MIDP2 has definitely improved things, it is still not a very nice platform.
There are still loads of imcompatibilites between devices, not to mention discrepancies between emulators and actual devices. Most of these are undocumented. Testing on multiple devices isn't much fun, no debugger, no console output.
The fact that to do anything useful like save to file (or if you're not lucky enough to have a device with a file system, your apps personal RecordStore) or use builtin microphone or camera, or bluetooth or the phone network you first have to go through about five yes/no dialogs asking the user are they sure they want to let your app do this?
As well as the obvious issue of the slowness of Java, exacerbated by slow embedded processors.
From what I've seen of the Windows Mobile stuff it looks a hell of a lot more powerful, plus you can run a debugger from a host pc on the mobile device.:) But then it's running on far powerful more devices so it's hard to compare. I haven't used C++ for symbian OS but from what I hear of the infamous cleanup stack windows mobile probably beats it too.
Indeed, Archaeoacoustics
However this technique has never been used to recover sounds from actual historical pots or paintings. I wonder why not, if their tests have been so sucessful... Maybe it only works if you know what you are supposed to be hearing, 'Here's to my sweet Satan' anyone?
It's a requirement that your local copyright library receives a copy of every book published and that that book cannot leave the library. How easy it is to access them is another issue but at least they are being preserved.

Worse than static? You start going backwards?

You should come live in Britian, the BBC has no ads. It's pure heaven.

I've noticed this as well, it's incredibly frustrating. Are they doing this on purpose?
Perfect reasons why predictions from billg aren't worth much.
Could it be that Ireland and Northern Ireland are different countries? Being on the same land mass has nothing to do with it.
Reading from a screen is too hard for the eyes.

The perfect solution: audio books. You can carry them around on your mp3 player and listen to them anywhere.
What ever happend to make install?
