UI-wise this could be realized in organizing the addressbook more like a
IM client where you can see if your buddies are in BT-/WiFi-Range,
Online (via any network connection (GPRS/UMTS/BT/WiFi)) or offline
(callable/SMSable). In any situation you could choose to send text/chat
or call your buddy. And the phone chooses the best (cost/battery
life/reception) way to contact the buddy.
what do you think?

How about friends list? so you can basically add people to your
friends list via email.
The Nintendo Wii has a serial number built in and you can send a
friend request to another Wii or to any other email address. When
sending a message for the first time it asks for permission to be
added (one way to stop spam).
You can then email pictures to your Wii.
An easy way to install new software would be to be able to email it to
your phone and use the phone's wifi to download the email. Of course
security would have to be present to stop it installing anything
received in an email.
Hi,
correct me if I am wrong, but shouldnt Jabber/XMPP do this out of the
box with (formerly Apples) Bonjour
(http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0174.html)?
You should simply have your IM Client active and see automatically every
friend who is on your list as available (or what message he has
selected). Exchanging data like pictures, binary or simply text is
therefore already implemented?
For seeing people how you dont know, you could join a Chatroom called
"Local" for everyone available in short range technoligy like
Wifi/BT/Infrared and "Global" for GPRS/Wifi(Internet). Who is subscribed
to your personal Global Chatroom should be identified first... probably
some kind of social group which has met before in person...
Managing your calls over Jabber should also be possible through a IM
Gateway which communitcates to your phonebook. Click on a friend and
open a jingle connection directly (wifi/bt) to your friend or first to
the gsm module which then dials out over normal voice
Regards,
Thomas
