SmartJacking works as follows: your personal profile will tell other people about your personal information. In turn, define your search criteria for people you want to make contact with. Wherever you are, at a trade show, in a subway or a coffee house, your SmartJacking will be in continuous search for other SmartJacking users located nearby. If it finds another user with a profile matching your search criteria, the program will invite both users to get acquainted and start talking."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20041217-SmartJacking.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Creating a localized chat is an interesting idea. I'm not sure how much I would use this, and it's my understanding that both parties need to be running the same application for this to work. I wonder how much battery power this would use? SmartJacking requires a Bluetooth enabled phone with .NET CF, which means a Windows Mobile 2003 device. You can download a trial version, or purchase the full application for $19.95 <a href="http://www.smartphone.net/smartphonethoughts/software_detail.asp?id=1006">here.</a> [Affiliate]
