I have a vision of grandma moving her phone around her desk and wondering why the pointer on the screen isn't moving...

There's this new-fangled thing called BlueTooth that's just been invented. Oh and also there's now wireless networking!
My thought process is that given the battery life of the typical phone, I'd think you'd rather leave it plugged in all the time (hence the extra cable that's basically necessary to have). Especially when the original poster was thinking about making use of older phones past their useful life, and (presumably, given the age) with batteries that no longer keep a charge for very long.

Not at all. I'd rather give a newcomer something to think about upfront, rather than have him go through the effort, only to realize that in the end, it's really only going to be marginally useful. Been there, done that, spent hours coding, and then finding out I'm only going to use the program once or twice. But then again, maybe his project is about learning how to do it, and not strictly about getting it finalized. In that case, more power to him.
