Heard about it for the first time today, talking with drive-time friends on the local 2m repeater. One person was quite enthused, but others were somewhat hesitant -- "It's not real ham radio, since you use the internet for the real hop" and "Why not just use your cell phone, it's no different." I checked out their web site, and am bothered by the fact that they install the software (they do) after you have installed linux on your system... I asked if the source is or would be available at some point and haven't gotten a response... I don't install any software on my linux box that I can't get the source for... and I certainly will NOT allow someone else to install binaries on it...
