I can tell you that based on prototype code I have created, SMS and
VoIP type p2p applications between mobile devices works just fine. The
latency is not bad, especially since the apps are coded to be
asynchronous anyhow. Whether it takes 10 seconds or 1 minute for
someone to respond does not bother users.

Hidden Services as a globally anonymous NAT'd networked is an amazing
opportunity for this type of application. We just need to solve the
scalability problem so we do not, as Robert put it "thrash the hidden
services directory".
