71Downloading the Gratuitous Space Battles beta. I'll pay anything for the promise of gratuitous space battles, so when a game is called Gratuitous Space Battles, I open my wallet without pause.

Strange question. My boss asked me to think about a project and I'm pretty much stumped on how to approach this.
I've been asked to basically write a piece of software that people can "walk away with" on their mobile device after using a Bluetooth proximity marketing terminal that would work on the widest array of devices? Normally you'd just get a jpg or something like that, but I need some level of interactivity (and would really like to be able to do things like searches, etc.)
Old Flash (plus a static HTML file to embed the Flash swf in) is the only thing I can really think of that will let me do the searches and stuff, but I know it won't work on Blackberries or iPhones.
My idea was to set up the termnials as wi-fi hotspots rather than Bluetooth terminals and have the application reside on a laptop hidden in the terminal, but it doesn't allow the person to use the app outside the radius of the hot spot, so it's not what my client is after.
Has anyone attempted something as foolish as this before? Can anyone think of any alterntives?

With the Bluetooth stuff, you have to accept/decline the incoming content, so it's not like people are going to walk past this thing and their PDA is going to "catch a virus" as they walk by.
