i just listened to an interesting piece on the bbc about gps gaming on
mobile phones:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/digital_planet.shtml

at 15:40 onwards

talking about a company in england that is developing innovative games
based around gps-equipped phones.

they've got one game under development at the moment:
"The prototype is a multi-player game. Gathering in a field with a
mobile phone and a GPS unit each, players hop into the game and then
start wandering around the real-world playing field, picking up
letters and bringing them back to a home-cell. As the team progresses,
they see their letters come together to spell a word."

which sounds a bit lame, but more interestingly, there's a 'game
designer' in the works, to allow users to put together their won ideas

how is java on the neo progressing?
