I've wondered about this. Another feature I'd like is to be able to share my location with someone. But I don't necessarily want to upload it to a server somewhere--this will inevitably be owned by someone else (for certain values of phone owner). Real computers can talk directly to each other over the internet, why can't portable media consumption devices? You could call or text, but the receiving end needs to be set up to not ring/beep and to alert the relevant app. There are apps that can do this, so it's not a huge problem. I can even envision replacing the SMS app itself with a tcpd-like to farm incoming requests out to whichever app was responsible for it. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
