i want to know how was the first program was written for any mobile phone.

[sagars]

My project is for the hotel customer and i want to edit pictures in it and also want to using bluetooth connectivity for sending files, all this i have to do by deleting the OS currenty in the mobile. i mean when we start/swith ON phone it should directly start my application and nothing else. plz help me.

Is all this possible using python or should i shift to any other platform. plz guide me........

THANKs

You aren't going to be able to delete the OS on the phone.

You may be able to disable _some_ of the features, like making phone calls, but most of the stuff will still be there.

I think that a PDA of some kind may be your best bet.

In fact, I suspect the device you'll find most workable would be the Nokia 770. It has Bluetooth, WiFi, and, running Linux, is very easy to hack. It is _not_ a telephone, however.

This sounds like he means just replacing the phone UI using an application that starts up automatically at phone startup. This _is_ actually within the realm of possibility with Python by using the new topwindow and keycapture modules.

The one thing you definitely need to write yourself is the way to register a Python app to be started when the phone starts up. S60 3rd edition does have a start-on-boot API, but we just don't have bindings for it yet.

I think the a NOKIA 770 would satisfy your need.

I've seen some projects on it and it showed that it was quite easy to implement application in C using GTK. Also the device has a Python interpreter

The good thing for you would be the WLan. So why not having a WiFi intranet. Then you write your application with the language you prefer or even you use the web browser...

Of course other Symbian phone have WLan but the 770 has a really nice big screen!

Up to you

Yes, if the 770's features are enough then it could be an easier choice. Depends on what the original poster needs. He mentioned editing photos - is a camera necessary?

[sagars]

Thanks for replies,

Camera is not necessary for me. i can edit the pictures in the phone by sending it from PC to mobile device, its not the issue.

LFD: can i know what is the GTK i havent heard anythink about that, would you plz give me some details about it. I will also try to search for nokia 770.

thanks once again

writing a application in any language what does it mean, hw to write using which IDE python, carbidge,etc. will you plz tell me in detail about that some project written in C using GTK, what is GTk plz tell me in detail.....

Nokia 770 Internet Tablet related developer info and mailing lists, etc., you can find on http://www.maemo.org/

Hi Sagar,

You have to check for available programming language for the NOKIA 770. The guys on the project (before summer) told me that C and Python were available on the device, I think Java was coming soon but I'm not sure for others after. They also give a tuto somewhere (can't remember) to re-compile MySQL for the device.

GTK is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. The home page is here: http://gtk.org/

I haven't been able to see so much of what they did but here you can find one open source using C and GTK. You have the information of the author if you wish to contact him but he's very busy at the moment finishing his master degree so... I can't promise anything from him

lfd : Thanks for your reply i will surely try for GTK. i isited the GTK.org website downloaded the setup but its difficult to install, i am taking help from the GTK installation guide.
