This is a pretty great program since, as said above, there are many normal phone users in developing countries who rely on wireless communicatin for vital information. I’ve been interested in a project called javarosa that equips public health workers with a simple but efficient and reliable way of collecting data in the field on their very basic phones.

This has been done already. I think Pinger has been doing this type of thing for all US based mobile phones since the beginning of last year.

non-smart phones is a huge market, but whether or not they’ll use it to access social networks is yet to be proven. I believe people get non-smart phones for basic use (text and call) and nothing else, hope they prove me wrong.

I agree with Pete. The non smart phone market is a huge market that is not going away anytime soon. Congrats to the iSkoot team for bringing interactivity and the latest & greatest to these “dumb” devices.

Don’t forget about the rest of the world. There are billions of phones currently in use all over the planet that aren’t exactly “smart”, so why not brighten them up with some extended functionality.

Not everyone can spring for the latest devices willy nilly. Especially when they’re not available.

I say bravo to the idea.

I agree. Those who will opt for unlimited data package on a phone not capable of displaying rich media will soon be frustrated by poor value proposition. So, they will spring for a device with more functionality (screen, keyboard, memory, music, applications, etc.)

Seems like a very useful tool for folks without smart phones, but I feel that if people really want all those capabilities won’t they just get a smart phone later on?
