Hi Schimmel, Thanks for yous advice and suggestions.
What about SIM card tool kit? I read in the cupcake feature list on android web page. But now in 1.5 SDK I didnt find any SIM related API. If any one want to contribute to this, I am ready with my team to develop the SIM tool kit. I read in the android developers guide that, we need to sign our application with the device manufacture's certificate to get the most of the API to work. Do any one have any info on this? SD card formatting should be possile as of now with private API in 1.5. But we can access all the files/dirs on the SD Card and I have written a java code to delete the files recursively and it is working fine. But the only problem is that, if u have more data on SD card, that java code takes more time. For 500MB it took 5 sec to delete all the files and directories.
