It could be done. Someone would have to implement it, including the
particulars of how to identify who to talk to. To talk to someone who
is on the PSTN, however, would require accessing some gateway to that,
which could, in theory, be done on a community of Asterisk boxes all
over the world. Talking to someone by "dialing" their IP address could
be an interesting twist, but certainly doable if the devices on each
end have no built in limitations to that (which they might, given the
motivation of manufacturers to acquire profits from a service model).

They made it!!!!

4Talk for Pocket PC released - walkie-talkie over Wi-Fi now possible !

Walkie-talkie over Wi-Fi! It is simply a brilliant idea: not all people
know that devices built-in Wi-Fi can communicate also with each other,
without Wi-Fi access point, and then with use of this software one can
make peer-to-peer voice calls over Wi-Fi!

Have fun. Reminds me of my daughter talking to her friend over
walkie talkie radios even though they could hear each other. I'll
personally just stroll over for a face to face chat.
