Windows Phone Thoughts: What If Your Friends Could Google for Data on Your Mobile Devices?

"I think from what I've seen so far, most people have looked at mobile search as a way of finding the stuff 'out there' from my phone, a.k.a. 'anywhere'. But I think as the iPod shows us, more and more people are carrying around with them gigs of data, much of which could be publicly available. Why? I'm not sure just yet, since obviously your iPod isn't like your Web Server, but it could be. Here let me be more concrete, if I've got a 1GB memory card in my mobile phone and most of that filled with messages and media, well there's no reason why that stuff can't be found by a web search, no?"

Russell Beattie goes on to ask some interesting questions that left me wondering just how feasible and just how soon such scenarios could come to fruition. In my own company, I've been tasked with helping to devise an enterprise collaboration strategy and I see a lot of parallels to consider. While the obvious concerns for everyone are privacy and security, I couldn't help but also wonder about other challenges as well including indexing, metadata creation & classification, user & buddy security profiles, and an overall user management process. On the other hand, at the pace in which P2P technologies have grown and with the vast upside of potential information still left to be shared, maybe it's not such a stretch. What do you guys think?
