yes, i wanna figure out a software and data transport and mobile communication model that would work with given use case in my prior response. e.g., i have "girl" and "giants fan" as my only parameters to a match. in a bar, stadium, et al my phone goes off when anyone nearby has matching profile parameters. simple but not so simple. thank you so much for your responses, i truly appreciate it.
user story: i want my phone to automatically alert me when i pass another phone who has set data (let's call it a "profile") that matches mine (i'd like the other phone do go off as well); let's set a physical range 'tween phones of 20 meters (could be programmable). so, yes, i want to know how best to transport the data.

actually, the answer to your question is "Baaa Baa"--the sound of sheep following other sheep. i am going to offer a dissent here. there is no intellectual rationale for the mac worship.i think linux as as easy to work with as any mac os (and are we talking dvlpr or enduser?). & um, when was the last time you built an Apple machine customized to your needs? last i checked steve jobs didn't know--or understand--what my needs were(the guy thought aluminum was a non-conductor--genius to you, maybe...). apple products are not designed for pros(ask an apple marketing person about their swim lanes). and i think many ntwrk adms will have many unpleasant stories about mac problems on corporate networks. there was a time when apple hardware was better but june 2006 changed all that. there was a time when apple's software more closely mirrored the hacker community's push toward quality and innovation (and not just with FreeBSD) but those times are over, too. i'm going to quote a very ordinary man, who once said, "Apple is not a computer company anymore." That was Steve Jobs; and he's right. dr. jrrodriguez
