Thanks for getting it to the wiki, I've been trying to finish it for
a couple of hours this morning, but there is this work thing that
keeps me occupied all the time. =)
I'll try to flesh out my idea some more and write a couple of
paragraphs on it on the wiki.

Now *that's* an interesting idea: a messaging layer that defaults to
bluetooth, but can use either GPRS (for more-or-less real-time
games) or
SMS (for non-real-time games, like chess).
In the instance of chess, it'd be like playing by mail, only
faster. You
wouldn't rely on GPRS, so your phone isn't tied up. That would
limit the
number of moves you get for free for some people (my plan doesn't
have
unlimited SMS, for instance), but it'd still be nice. Also, using
SMS,
the message has a certain amount of assurance it will arrive.
I think this sort of framework would be invaluable, especially if you
have, as you mention, a "friends list." Automate the sharing of high
scores amount your group, that sort of thing.
I like it. I like it a lot.
