Yes, but we can dream about the future! As I understand the way GSM works
mobile phones *need* to be capable of DSP at rather high frequencies because
otherwise they couldn't encode your calls to whatever frequency GSM works
at. I just looked it up and those GSM bands are slightly below and in the
GHz range so whatever is doing that must be quite a amusing little chip,
maybe that one isn't open for abuse.

Generally mobile phones keep getting more advanced and people keep expecting
them to do more (games, calendars, one friend of mine lamented that the
interface on his phone was no good for working with the copy of Word it came
with) so in the future.... why not?

Yes, I see. Now, what if the FFT was done in ChucK and you build bars for
the graphical representation of the spectrum (that I gather you want on the
phone?) in python, then scaled the update rate and amount of bars to
whatever Bluetooth can take if you send those values over OSC?
