While I can't speak to the legal or political implications of the product or supporting infrastructure, I'm thrilled with the idea of a mobile application that provides for the exchange of "currency" in an autonomous manner. The exchange of value outside of the established models (Gov't issued currency / PayPal / Google Checkout / next iteration thereof) has the potential to provide a huge opportunity for those of us involved in the space of online media and web applications. Mobile implementations to bring the utility of the Bitcoin project into the palm of the hand bridge an intimidating virtual-to-real gap for many potential users. In my opinion, the development of this mobile application, as well as similar projects, is a first step towards the more widespread adoption of the Bitcoin currency, in whatever (hopefully at least semi-legal, and legitimate) form it may finally take. I'll observe with great interest.
