Hi All,

I have a smartphone application that needs to retrieve a small piece of
information (probably in the form of an XML document) from another
smartphone via GPRS. Does anyone know whether it's possible to have a direct
connection between smartphones over the network? I've looked at RAPI, but
the examples I've seen relate to a PC-smartphone connection.

Regards,
Daryl.

Most of GPRS connections will not give you a public IP address. You will
probably need to set up a server somewhere similar to what Messanger does
