I see this more as a way to create a mini lan for portable devices than creating a true PC lan. Say you have a mobile phone on your hip and an mp3 player in your pocket. You could send an MP3 to your phone to use as a ringtone. Or if you have a camera instead of a phone, you could transfer an image to your phone to use as a background. Simple stuff like that.Somehow I don't see it working out as a true lan, i.e.: using your body to bridge two computers. How are you going to connect each of those computers to your body?
So lets say some guy with a pacemaker gets one of these. He uses it to connect his mp3 player to his headphones. Will his heart start jamming out to Brittney Spears?

Didn't they use something like this in Metal Gear Solid on the PS1? I think they called a Personnal Area Network, but it sounds pretty similar.

I can transfer amazing amounts of data at high-speed using my body already. Its called "Sneaker-netting" and has been around for awhile.
