Any Droid or Iphone can already talk by bluetooth to Bluetooth and WiFi to WiFi and SMS to SMS. Gameboxes connect to the internet and you can SMS and talk to anybofy in world on them while playing a game. All Peep is doing is putting it all together into one App. Anybody who says this can't be done must be from the 1970's.

The register at www.peepwireless.com in a Jomla portal is a poor and we have no choice to deal with. It`s looks like a vapor-wireless.

Details are available to qualified investors under NDA." - looks like a nicely put together bluff. They are either joking here, or really want to help some investors part with the money. “The power solution for the device uses a type of technology currently only in use in space systems but now available for use on Earth thanks to Peep innovation.

They will not be able to take action against millions of p2p nodes, same way that they cannot shutdown torrent anymore. Once swarm grows, you can throw carriers out the window and use their spectrum.

There are a couple of dark sides to this solution: - Battery drain of ad hoc networks constantly looking for partners to peer to. - Signaling inefficiency of WiFi in dense user environments - try this in a room of 30 Peep participants and watch the air get congested quickly. - Poor ad-hoc driver support for wireless chipsets. Those issues (and others) aside, this is a pretty cool type of solution and eminently feasible. Biggs - do some research... you might find there are other companies already doing similar work.

Bring it son. Some interesting things could happen though if we adjust our expectations. Is it going to replace your cell carrier? No, but it may be the precursor of something that will enhance the carrier networks, and eventually dwarf them. http://bit.ly/eLbXbj

Some carriers might prevent it, but this will be nigh impossible on Android devices or jailbroken devices...and the app. really isn't that different than a Skype or other VoIP app. which uses the data connection to get around minutes fees. Yes, there may be some instances in which you wouldn't be able to get a signal on the P2P network - but that isn't the end of the world...we all expect that some areas won't have service. I expect, eventually, that cell providers will move from a voice/data plan to a simple data plan which might reduce the incentive to implement these sort of P2P networks...but right now, when they are tagging us for voice, data, text, and everything else - its a good idea. =) I’ve gotta disagree with you on this one John…I don’t see any reason this system could not be implemented.
