Speaking of which, Motorola had contest for the best J2ME app
on a Java phone.  If I had the time I'd code it up. It'd be essentially
a viral JVM replacement that sometimes when activated on the
phone's control channel, would mimic exactly the screen behavior
of a powered-on, but not-in-use phone.  The exception would be
that it would slowly eavesdrop on whoever was carrying the phone
and record some small voice segment and compress it in the JVM
memory to eventually bet sent out over the control channel in
non-realtime.

The person would carry their phone with them everywhere they go, but
they'd think nobody was listening as they'd be socialized into
thinking that a phone that looks hung up is really hung up.

I wish I had a million dollars for every time someone accidentally hit
their phone's buttons and had it leave a really long message.

It'd be the perfect James Bond accessory. Any secure
area would have to check their cell phone at the door after that.
