Our buddy Mark from Kuwait just sent us this little bit, which I thought was interesting.
hey joel, there is a new trend in kuwait. since the majority of people have bluetooth phones, if u sit at a food court or at a starbucks in a mall people will start sending you files. its like P2P, totally anonymous and everyone is always giving.
it started off by people sending porn to each other but now it has evolved. people are actually make small movies, mostly funny and sending them to each other.
While my first thought is how someone else could own your phone with a strategic packet, it is interesting to think about a future where our mobiles have 2-3GB of storage and a couple of different radios, and if we get bored waiting for a bus or something we can just whip them out and join a local P2P network to see what people have shared. Now we just need a cross-platform P2P system.
