Hmm, could be interesting..
Imagine a hypothetical situation. My mobile operator uses Phorm (I haven't heard of any mobile operators that do this, but it's feasible).
I start looking at some porn one day, then go out to meet a friend. I notice that the cafe we have agreed to meet in has a communal screen using this tech.
When she arrives, I want to show her a new web site I have found, and my phone screen is a little small, so I connect to the communal screen. All of a sudden, ads for loads of porn sites come up..
Anyone still think the tech is a good idea?
Ok, how about this? Someone writes a virus to exploit it. Your phone gets the virus, and starts making thousands of calls to premium rate phone lines, or sends 1000s of premium rate texts/messages.
Still think it's a good idea to use it?
Apart from that, what *exactly* does the system do that Bluetooth can't? OK, Bluetooth 1 doesn't have enough bandwidth for video streaming, but Bluetooth 2 does.
