You can do nice things with your own persistently available server, yes, but one shouldn't be necessary to mostly enjoy OpenMoko. Of course, it shouldn't need it, but an associated distro / dedicated app for computers may unleash features. And can become a paid service if you don't want to run

Hi, i'll add my 2 cents :) Then again, while XMPP is quite nice for normal usage on the net, maybe we need a different protocol, namely one that is VERY bandwidth efficient (XML is not really famous for that, a binary protocol could potentially do much better) to keep GPRS costs low? The best
