Re: OpenMoko application as Final Year Project

Title: Ferrán Órsola Vidal

Hi Chris, What it can make a huge different for a mobile is a application that allow that mobile to talk using skypo protocol. As you should kn ow skype used a private protocol and it is not and opensource. So I suggest to you to snnifer a full conversation and try to copy this protocol and the application to create a opensource project compatible with skype for openmoko (if this has not been deployed). Thanks, Ferran Orsola. Chris Lord wrote: On Fri, 2007-09-28 at 10:42 +0100, Thomas Wood wrote: On Thu, 2007-09-27 at 17:56 +0100, Sebastian wrote: Hi everybody! I'm a student from Germany doing my last year in England, Staffordshire University. To finish my studies I have to do a project, that has not done before, and of course I have to do it on my own. So when I stumbled across OpenMoko I thought it would be a great idea to write a application for it. It's a little bit different for me to work out an good idea so I'm asking you if anyone has got an idea what kind of application would be a must-have or a pretty nice one for a OpenMoko phone, but is not jet implemented. thx and have a nice day, You really need to find something that will interest yourself, not something that is suggested by anyone else. Take a look in the subversion repository to see what is already implemented. Regards, Thomas On the other hand, if input methods interest you, openmoko could really do with a fairly quick and novel input method (People tell me T9 is patent-encumbered, which is why I use the word 'novel'). There's plenty of research and things to write about for such a project and it could be applied outside of openmoko too. --Chris -- C/ José Echegaray nº 8 Edif. 3 Parque Empresarial Alvia 28230 Las Rozas Madrid - España T   +34 902 154 604 Ext.155 F   +34 91 357 54 33 www.optenet.com FERRAN ORSOLA SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER [EMAIL PROTECTED] M  +34 618 857 634
