True, they are cheaper, but if you already have the 770's, why not?
But tell me this... Can standard Walkie Talkies work between two people 500 miles apart? These would, using the internet as the medium. Free live communication. No VOIP sign up fee. No Phone call. As long as the devices were in the Walkie-Talkie mode and were both already linked via a password interface and W-T channel #, just push-to-talk (Zoom key) and fire off some chitchat. A number of other callers could be linked to the same chat channel #, and the internet server would capture all the messages spoken and yet and make sure everyone heard them by feeding them in the order they came between the next patch of silences.
Dozens of people could talk simultaneously but no one would talk over anyone else.
I know.... I know.... this is pretty far fetched stuff. Not likely. I understand that. But that won't stop me from at least putting it out here in case some supergenius falls in love with it and decides to program it.
That's what so great about the Linux OS they've given this thing... people like you, the creators, the inventors, those that work hard to build upon ideas helpless dreamers like me come up with but cannot achieve on our own.
I love how quickly the Dev community has re-engineered some of the Maemo apps for the 770, and how every day the new versions are coming out.
Keep up the great work, guys. The 770 is the funnest Handheld device ever, thanks to you.
--Ciao.
