I am not too sure if this is already available today, but I would like to see Rendezvous built into my mobile phone. It seems silly to me that when I call someone within a room (or nearby) I would have to pay my telco to transmit the call. With Rendezvous my mobile phone should be smart enough to know that the person I am contacting is nearby and initiate a VOIP call, else it can use the conventional method of passing through the telco.

  I always wondered why we do not see yet bluetooth used as a nearby friend detector or carrier for local chatrooms (in a bar for example), maybe because programming phones is hard, but they have the needed hardware.
  I see that Nokia has started using Bluetooth as a network for connecting game consoles, so maybe it is just a matter of time.
