"Dunne is also employing technology used by event organisers to send ticket barcodes to mobile phones - known as m-ticketing. It's the new way for bands and venues to deliver tickets to the public without mailing or holding them for collection at the box office."

A great idea, but all a bit too magical for me to comprehend. This article also talks of a static Coke display downloading wallpaper , ringtones, whatever. To me it's a bit bizarre standing next to a static display, phone in hand and downloading stuff! It means we could upload and down load anywhere if the infrared and wifi stuff is there. Won't the crooks have an easy time of it then. The ticketing thing will save so much time and energy...but the other stuff? It'll have some real advantages past the gimmick stage, but he disadvantages?? My mind has just exploded with the thought of all of this. Oh well...onward and upward!
