Well, we have already created the monster for selected android phones
at least.  You can even keep using your own phone number (or pick a
new one), and you just dial as you normally would, but with calls
routing over the mesh where possible.

You can grab the source or compiled APK from the developer area at
ServalProject.org.  You're more than welcome to help breathe more life
into the monster if you are super keen ;)

We are also in the process of adding piles of
infrastructure-independent features and services over the coming
months.  For example, we are on the verge of having a mapping system
that shares open street map tiles between phones on a mesh (geographic
locality is very helpful sometimes :), and then lets you post
geo-tagged information on the map, all without requiring internet
access or any "server".

Paul.
