bluewoki turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a Bluetooth walkie-talkie. Is this one of the least useful 'serious' products in the App Store?

5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Maybe it depends on your lifestyle, but I can't really see much use for a walkie-talkie with only a 10m range.

The developer, Switzerland-based akosma software, suggests it might be handy when biking or in a crowd, but I'm not really convinced. Another possible use might be as a baby monitor - leave an iPod touch in the nursery and listen in via your iPhone.

The other puzzle is that while the the app costs $US0.99, the source code is freely available under a BSD-like licence.

iPhone OS 3 is required. If you plan to use bluewoki on an iPod touch, you'll need the second-generation hardware plus a compatible microphone.
