If ender modems are available to in-game computer blocks, and turtles, then I believe we should have ender modems available for pocket computers. One reason is that you can have the infinite range of the ender modem anywhere you go. Another reason is that this can open the door for new kinds of programs such as remote base control from virtually anywhere in a minecraft world or minecraft server without the use or dependency of utilities outside of minecraft, or CraftOS multiplayer games hosted by servers you would be able to connect to from anywhere, even on your pocket computer! This can benefit both the developers and the average users of pocket computers! So how about it, you guys? You gonna add this or what?

There's no point. All the things you mentioned are already possible, since a wireless pocket computer can communicate with any comp with an ender modem from anywhere. There's not even a reason to have more than one ender modem per world, as you can run repeat on it.

Well, unless you want GPS functionality too. You need four per dimension for that. Though one of the systems in one of the clusters could easily run the repeat script in parallel with the GPS server script…

But either way, there's indeed very little point in strapping an ender modem to a pocket computer.

Oh, I never knew that, thank you for letting me know…

And I'm sorry for wasting your all's time, I just thought it would be useful…
