Coolest thing at CTIA was a fountain?

There were many cool things on show at CTIA this week in New Orleans - but few gathered a crowd like the Samsung Fountain - a two story, computer controlled fountain that "writes" with water in a fashion similar to a dot matrix printer. Like me, many people wandered past it at first paying it no attention, assuming it was some usual light-projection affair. But something niggling brings them back to take a closer look. Did I hear water? Is that a fountain? How do they DO that?

Phone Scoop has a nice video of it here.

Sony Ericsson - mad rolling Bluetooth enabled camera

I saw this at CTIA in New Orleans during the week. It's a bit of fun - it rolls around and takes video and streams it back to the phone. Interesting that they are citing JSR82 as one of the key compatibility angles with it (can be controlled via any JSR82 enabled device). Reasonably addictive when you use it.

Mobile Phone Performance

Good list of performance of mobile phones here ...quite a mix of results, even among the same brand names.
