Mobile Phone Viruses and Bluetooth ? Just What the Network Operators Want?
Instead of educating customers and shipping phones in a safe default mode, it's becoming fashionable to blame Bluetooth.

Nick Hunn, CTO of Ezurio Ltd ? one of the world's leading developers of Bluetooth solutions, explains the facts in a new white paper entitled "Mobile phone viruses ? just what the network operators want?"

Little Rock, Ark. (ContentDesk) June 26, 2006 -- 1-800-HOUSING LLC and all of its assets, including Web addresses, a phone number, application software and website, are for sale. 1-800-HOUSING LLC, headquartered in Little Rock, Ark., was founded in Houston in 1997, and its mission has been to match homebuyers with realtors and lenders. Dan Bernstein has been retained to represent 1-800-HOUSING LLC for the sale.Clearly, the company's most valuable asset is the toll free 1-800-HOUSING (800-468-7464) vanity phone number, says Bernstein.

So it's high noon in the middle of the desert.
Ok let's not be as extreme
Let's
say late afternoon on the subway back from work, where you notice that you forgot to charge your cell phone. You're expecting that all important call, when just as the phone rings, it goes the familiar dead-looking screen of the depleted battery.
Ok first some perspective:
One of the first and most challenging problems for mobile device makers (cell phones, I-Pods, Game Boys, or mobile computers)
is the energy issue. Over my career I've seen dozens of companies who have tried to tackle this problem from many different perspectives. Ultimately, -let's face it for better (if you are a battery maker) or for worse (if you own anything mobile)
