Kodak / T-Mobile picture sharing service
This sounds good, except for the following:
"Kodak has created a handset application for the service, which is downloadable on selected Symbian based camera phones from the Kodak/T-Mobile local sites."
This means it's not a Java application, but a native Symbian application, and even worse it only runs on _some_ Symbian phones. Ouch! All phones have at least a WAP browser and many have Java. Why not use that instead?
