Partnership bolsters wireless instant messaging [IDG InfoWorld]
Once again, The Shifted Librarian has beaten me to the punch. I can see the following uses;
- Warehouse inventory management - speeds audits as you simply ahve to tag the barcode and IM it into the system. Compare before and after, reconcile, and you have your adjusted inventory.
- Using a messaging device as a means of purchase to:
Make reservations/buying tickets
Verify the store is not out of the one thing you need
Order a pizza
- Vehicle tracking with real time reporting of location and speed
Neat stuff!

Report warns of increased drug trafficking on Net. Worldwide, online drug dealers using technology to their advantage. Noteworthy [USA Today : Front Page]
Abstract: New technology is being used by criminals in ways that the police cannot keep up with.
Commentary: Police officers have to get their tech cleared with a series of bureaucrats before they can use it. Plus, if they break the law, they cannot convict someone based on the evidence they gathered illegally. So their hands are somewhat tied with regards to adopting new tech. Criminals have no such restrictions. If it owrks, it will flourish. if it fails, they end up in prison. A more Darwinian form of selection I cannot imagine.
