Ionut is looking to monetise the mobile application he developed. It’s called SmartCam and it turns a mobile phone with wifi/bluetooth and camera into a wireless PC webcam.

The project is open source and available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartcam.

Here’s a screenshot:

Although there’s a GPL license available for SmartCam, Ionut is keen to hear from operators, handset manufacturers or any one else interested in doing business with him.

SmartCam is available for Symbian and J2ME/Java — along with Linux and Windows clients.

If this triggers a thought in your mind and you’d like to talk with Ionut, drop me a note — ewan@mobileindustryreview.com — and I’ll connect you.

I’ve never been a sports manager — in fact I haven’t actually ever played in a sports team during my adult life. But I know lots of folk who have — and I know one or two who are tasked with sorting it all out — and it’s a total arse.

Teamer sorts it all out. Stick in the names of all the possible players and Teamer will query their availability by text and email and help you send immediate announcements to teams. So even if you’re sat in New York on business on Monday morning, you can confirm your availability for Friday’s match.

Smart.

It’s entirely free to use in the UK but there are some fees applicable for the US and Australia.

If you’re a sports team manager or you know someone that is, check out Teamer and let me know how you get on.
