Simple MIDlet idea
This is an idea to use gtalks animated smiley's for sms messages. Basically you and your friends will download this application and it works with your phones sms application interface already installed. When running, if you receive a text message the simple text smiley rotates to an upright position. The user is able to create their own smilies, and use already created templates. Check out the quick sketches below.

My favorite mobile application is PocketNester. PocketNester is a NES emulator. You can download ROMs which are games that can be played with your emulator. The frames per second are pretty smooth emulating full speed play. The sound quality is amazing, just like the real games from the late 80s early 90s. Works in both landscape and portrait mode.
I find that with my touchscreen game play can be a bit challenging without the actual feel of hitting a button, but thanks to the designers game controls can be changed to different keys on your phone. I use a combination of touchscreen and button pushing, using the directional hard keys for the directions and the onscreen A & B buttons for the jump and fire keys. It takes some getting used to but when you have the perfect combination game play is as I remember it. Sometimes there is a slight delay which takes time to learn but all and all this is a well executed program.
I wish I didn't have to exit the game playing mode to edit settings such as sound or controls. Since the ROMs can be created by anyone their is one more issue of similarity between the old game and the emulated ROM. Some ROMs I have downloaded have yet to be the same game I remember growing up. This change can be good and bad, where you can play a totally new adventure within a game you probably already conquered more than once. I already beat Contra on my phone while on a subway ride home from school! (even the cheats are still in some of them ^^dd<><>baba start ;)
