The other question is what you would do with an army of cell phones at your command?

Spam? I doubt that.

What is everyone doing now, or trying to push now with mobile devices that you would want to get behind?

Mobile banking, I think this provides a real bang for your buck if you are going to take over thousands of cell phones.  Using a SMS command and control or even using twitter or other web sites to send your commands out.  You cold also use those channels to push back the information you are gathering.
