Line of "browser only" low-cost PDA devices that communicate text and image without a cellular network.
(Of course better and newer models would also have voice capabilities, but that comes later.)
Start off with a walky-talky like pair of low-cost PDAs except you dont talk but can only "SMS"
each other.
(Sold as toy for kids).
Continue with Wifi or bluetooth to PC.
Use PC as relay station - connected to the regular internet in broadband. People can even get payed for giving the relay service. (works only for people in the local vicinity).
Within a short while you'll have people able to pass and recieve information on local networks around the world, without the need to pay the cellular companies.

Skype on my wifi PDA lets me do all of the above..
I think the expensive bit of a PDA is the screen, and wifi, rather than the on board applications. |

Yup cybiko. so must I remove this? ;''''( [MFD] |

Not necessarily. MFDs are judged by the admins. |

For short range you could use Bluetooth.
Bluetooth SMS is possible using calendarnotes which you send to your peers. |

Might be a good way to communicate during a meeting or a class? |
