Hi Joel, I guess you want something like: http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/btchat/
maybe a little less interactive... I guess I will give it a try once I have a "device". Collin Quoting Joel Newkirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Presuming that V1 devices will lack bluetooth, what other means exist for one device to recognize proximity of another? With SMS we could communicate with a few 'friends' and keep updated as to GPS locations, but that depends on cell carrier and manually inputting number/email/something. GPRS wouldn't be useful, since most GPRS services (in my experience) don't allow inbound connections, and there'd be no easy way (short of an external server) to identify the IP of a potential peer device, locate it, or push data at it. What about a scenario like a conference, where two individuals meet and want to exchange contact data? I'm thinking about people who 'beam' their business cards between PDAs, for example. Put two Neos in a room with no cell service - can they find each other? Even with service, if nobody punches in 'codes' on each? Several ideas I've read on the list depend on autonomous communications between devices, but short of entering a number and subsequently communicating via SMS, I don't see it. j _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
