I got interested in the new sprint wireless web deal today. Mostly I was curious whether or not I could program program my own data to come to the phone or if I was stuck with the small set of options they give you. Well, apparently their wireless web browser is from phone.com and appears to be able to support any data service provided by them. (I am not certain, but that is what it sounds like to me) So, I went to phone.com and found out that they have a developers program. You can download an SDK which you can use to develop test applications. Apparently you can let up to 5 phones "subscribe" to your service as a "basic level" (i.e. don't pay any money) developer, which seems good enough for hackers like us to have fun with. Unfortunately their SDK is not available for linux. It is, however, available for solaris (I assume for sparc, not x86) so I have decided to download it and give it a shot anyways. (It can't hurt) There appear to be only a few things that are binary, mostly the crypto/certificate stuff, and I bet if others were interested we could hack up a linux version of any of these with little difficulty. (Actually, I'd be surprised if someone wasn't already working on this now) Well - that's all I know now. I need some rest. I'm posting on the off chance someone on the list has some more information on this (or similar wireless web services like pqa on the new wireless palms) and might be able to comment on developing for them on linux. ___________________________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] soli deo gloria --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
