ICUE: A better eBook reader?

After listening to the latest podcast of The Cranky Geeks, I decided to Google over a Java app that they’ve been talking about that lets you read eBooks on your mobile phone.

Should all phones have business card readers?

Mobile phones have become the conduit for going digital. You can call digital, take digital photos, listen to digital music and beam digital business cards, or vCards.

I’m sooo going to exceed in my free SMS limit this month. I’ve grown accustomed to sending text messages via my laptop. So I dread to receive my phone bill this month.
