Thanks for all your help.

I know that the actual video is not a program, but I would like to
develop a program that plays the videos when you get a call.

I have photoshop, so thats probably a good start. I guess I should
wait to get a Neo, so I will know what to tweak.

Hi Ryan! Thank you for your eagerness to help OpenMoko! As you may
know already Neo1973 is a phone with Linux and X-Window (GUI
applications are written in GTK+ toolkit). So basicaly all rules of
making programs for Linux and GTK+ will apply to Neo1973. There
are, of course some hardware limitations (screen size, memory,
processor, etc). I suggest you try googling for "linux programming
howto", "gtk+ howto" etc. This would be the good point to start.
What I would like to write:
-Graphically cool looking programs like video ringtones
that have
some kind of really cool animation that plays when you get a call.
"video ringtones" are not programs - they are just video
animations. You can do them in graphic programs.
-Tweaks to the UI to make it look really cool
This is not trivial (on applications level) but if you focus on
graphic applications (Photoshop, Gimp, 3D Studio Max, Blender) you
may do this by contributing themes, backgrounds etc.
-A program that allows you to use MP3s as ringtones
I am sure that somebody with more experience will do this or it is
already implemented ;) Maybe focus at creating MP3 ringtones?
Writing app that plays mp3 is actually good excersise (if you use
specialized library to play mp3) and you may find plethora of
examples of such application.
Good luck!
