To see the future of a medium, watch the kids

Anonymized post to an old college friends' list:

The last time I was in Finland the kids were playing a game with cells phones that was pretty much a high-tech hide and seek. You send SMS messages to the other players at regular intervals with clues to where you are. You can move. They use the entire city to play.
Here the thing seems to be IM of various flavors. Who will be the first carrier to try and integrate that and texting and follow the iMode marketing path? And price it so it sells?
