Darla reports on the beta of a new idea for globetrotters, Jaiku, a 'social phonebook' that shows where in the world your contacts currently are.
Read on in the full article.
Where in the world are they?
With an average consumption of 10 MB of data per month, I am going to wait for a S60v3 version - I have an unlimited data plan on that device.
The location 'badge' can add a lot of interest and a feeling of being on 'live' to your website or weblog.

Wow. What with this and MobiTV and others all expecting to use bandwidth in the order of 10Mb or more a month, it seems like there's a whole generation of software that are possible but completely impractical for large chunks of the world's population. Operators need to increase GPRS bandwidth/channels and make it a whole lot cheaper if this generation of applications is to take off. The operators will win in the end as we'll be using an order of magnitude more mobile data a month. Noone minds paying �15 a month for data, it's when you expect �15 and get hit for �60 because you've been trialling a next-gen application that it becomes a problem.

That's why I have an unlimited data plan on my E61 - I soon found the browser is so good, that I often won't bother use my Laptop. Also, it works anywhere, anytime.
