Check if a J2ME application has been sent to background correctly

Some device allow to put a J2ME application in background with this piece of code:

display.setCurrent(null);

To check if the cal was succesfull, we can use the isShown() method of the class displayable. So if m_disp is your displayable you can use:

if ( m_disp.isShown() ) {
    // method didn't work
 }
 else {
    // app is in background
 }

Fifa10 su Iphone per 7.99 euro

One of the most popular soccer (or football to say in English UK) game is available on the AppStore. It costs 7.99 euro.

To be honest several reviews are not really good especially for the graphic that needs to be improved and for the usability.....

Here you are one screenshot:

Spetactor replaces official refree giving three penalties. No onecomplains

The incredible fact happend during an amateur match in the last weekend in the Italian small city of Narni Scalo in Umbria. The official refree failed to show for the match so a spetactor decided to ask to replace him.

During the game the refree gave three penalties and no big complains came from the crowd watching the game.

The spectator was a member of the federation of refrees of Umbria but the other spectators didn't know that and they were a way more polite than in situation where they know the refree comes from the federation.

Two incredible goals from Argentina and Italy

The first goal is by Martin Palermo. A head goal from 40 meters:






The second one is by Schiattarella, a serie B Ancona's player and you can see watching the hilights of the match Torina-Ancona

iPhone Nike application for football training

From Mobile-Entertainment

Nike has launched a new iPhone app targeting footy fans - or at least those who want to get off their sofas and develop their skills.

Nike Football+ Presents: Master Control is its slightly cumbersome title, and it's free to download from the App Store.

The application offers a four-week skills training programme designed by coaches from FC Barcelona, complete with videos. Stars included in the app are Pep Guardiola, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas.

Arsenal fans may wonder why their captain is appearing in a Barca-dominated iPhone app. Perhaps Nike really does have an inside line to future transfers...

The application also includes a Fabregas-branded Challenge, which lets users benchmark their skills and post scores to a global leaderboard.
