Are you sure the iPhone can't dial out while connected to the PC ? In which case I can't see why it would care whether the remote
device was;
gsm ,3g, NextG or 4G.
They apparently want to have a direct data connection between two smart- phones without either being connected to the Internet. I doubt that this will be possible unless they use IP over SMS or something equally horrible.
A smart phone talking to a GSM modem attached to a fixed roadside device actually. They just don't want to have a separate GSM modem for the PC/laptop when they have a perfectly functional iPhone which they always have on them. Ultimately they will probably be using Windows to make the connection, but I'm testing with Linux. Because it's better :) James
