Besides using mobile applications such as wap2mail on my mobile phone or mobile pocket on Sony Clié, I've already been developing some wireless apps:
During the development of my Final Thesis on 'Smart Personalization for Wireless Applications' I have created various prototypes of adaptive mobile applications. Examples are provided in the thesis, which you can download as a PDF eBook.
FOX shows a great TV series called Twenty-Four. As a big fan of this series I've reproduced the original CTU ringtone on my Nokia mobile phone.
Here is the tune:
32f2 32f2 32f2 8- 32f2 32f2 32f2 32f2 32f2 32f2 4- 32b2 32b2 32b2 32b2 32b2 32b2 32- 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1 32b1
Just set the speed to 200 S/min and it should sound quite original.
Well, enjoy the show and drop me a line if you like your new ring-ring! ;-)

MensaSMS is a service answering one of the most important questions of my university's students: "What do we have for lunch today?"After parsing the HTML pages of our student's cafeteria, every weekday MensaSMS sends a short message (SMS) to all subscribers containing today's menu. Exactly 15 minutes before the end of our last morning lesson one could notice some beeping and vibrating signals in the class room followed by a couple of students abruptly checking their mobiles' displays.
Unfortunately this popular push service is discontinued for now due to the heavily increased short message charges of all German mobile communication providers. But a workaround is on its way already...
As a project within the workshop 'WAP and mCommerce' at my university, I ported exististing web intranet modules of our university's information system (department of digital media) for use on WAP enabled phones. I was responsible for setting up the server infrastructure as well as for launching the modules 'cinema' and 'events'.
Equipped with newest Siemens WAP mobile phones we thoroughly tested the new wireless intranet, which worked really well. However, due to the high mobile data communication charges of Germany's telecommunication providers, the vast majority of lecturers and students still prefers the 'free' web version.

McFind is a just-for-fun project I implemented during the workshop 'WAP and mCommerce' as well. The idea was to create a meta-fast-food-search-engine.
After entering the ZIP code of the area you were currently located in (location based information was only supported by Viag Interkom aka 'O2' at that time), 'McFind' queried the web interfaces of burgerking.de and mcdonalds.de.
The user was directed to a dynamically generated WML page containing the combined results of both searches. Links with each restaurant found on the web pages led to a more detailed information card, which contained opening hours and a direct link to give the restaurant a call.
Due to the nature of this implementation, something foreseeable has happened in the meantime: Both, McDonalds and BurgerKing, have changed their web interfaces so the original URLs, forms and parsing algorithms don't work anymore. After all a professional service would use their data sources directly instead of mis-using their frontends :-)

This is actually no 'application' but a 'micromovie', a video designed according to the limtations of portable mobile devices such as screen size, file size, sound. Read more about 'nerd meets nockia' in digital_gallery > audio/video projects.
