Will BitTorrent Go Mobile. Creator Bram Cohen hints it may be a possibility.

With the announcement that BitTorrent Inc. bought the BitTorrent client µTorrent, creator Bram Cohen is looking towards more innovative ways of file-sharing.  BitTorrent is a wildly popular peer-to-peer protocol that breaks files, such as movies, songs, into many small portions or blocks and it distributes them to other users as they are requested thus making your downloading experience faster and more reliable.  If you are downloading material online, the client will search and intelligently shuffle that data and reassemble the portions together to get a finished product (i.e. song, file).

The creator of BitTorrent, Bram Cohen, has suggested that BitTorrent may go mobile with many other platforms to follow.  A simple Java program for all phones would be the perfect solution for cellphones if this is the plan.  Downloading content on your phone, via mobile BitTorrent client and a 3G network sounds like a good idea to me.  BitTorrent has a loyal following so it won't be long until mobile BitTorrent hits the masses.
