Data Visualizations: 3G Mobile Screensavers?

Here are some sweet visuals out of ucla.edu of US Flight Patterns (data by FAA):

In looking at these animations, and the other beautiful work that Information Aesthetics promotes, I can't help but think how interesting this type of thing would be on connected mobiles. With an always-on mobile connection, these visualizations would make great mobile screensavers (in fact I think i'd prefer to 'snack' on these than gags/sporting highlights/movie trailers etc).

In Australia we're one step closer this always-on thing in your pocket with the recent launch of Telstra's NextG 3G, but we're not quite there yet. Still, a rendering of the data based on the last time you were connected to the network would still be pretty interesting.

I would love to look down at my phone in meetings (while others are thumbing their crack-Bs) and see music downloads, traffic, TV ratings, opinions, Gnoos topics - whatever, all with hypnotizing motion graphics and up-to-the minute trends.

Mmm my own Mobile Zeitgeist Engine.
