Now you can play FIFA World Cup, the popular soccer game, on your Motorola cell phone; as well as others. The games cost $2 to $3 dollars a month, each. Hmmm, and I thought cell phones were for communication! Silly me.

"For example, FIFA World Cup from EA Sports lets you choose the speed, direction and angle of your shot on goal all the same way -- you press a button when a sliding indicator on the screen reaches its desired setting. An equally addictive treat, JAMDAT Bowling, works similarly, as does Tiger Woods PGA Tour Wireless Golf from EA Sports. The games don't pose many challenges in the way of eye-hand coordination. But they offer just enough nice touches (a picture of a turkey flashes on the screen when you get three strikes in a row in bowling) to inspire your imagination to take over."
