Hi Note: this is not a feature request, just a discussion topic about integrating web mashups on openmoko someday, or never.
********* Openkapow Using http://openkapow.com , we may have a very easy and useful tool for graphically developing mobile-oriented mashups (win & linux client available). After designing the mashup, you publish it. There are 3 types of "robots": * RSS robots: they output results in an RSS field (1.0, 2.0, Atom) * REST robots: output XML, JSON, CSV, HTML or XHTML * clip robots: outputs an html page You call the robots using simple urls like http://service.openkapow.com/Andreas/mymashup.rest Please tell me if i'm wrong, but in order to use these mashups on an openmoko phone, we'd need: * for html: a good webbrowser (dillo ?) * for RSS, XML, Json ... a web-oriented scripting language (python? http://www.python.org/pypi/demjson/1.1 ), with gtk+/glade bindings; Of course, GPS-enabled mashups (GPS to geocoord wrapper ) would be very insteresting... Example of geographical context based mashup: http://openkapow.com/forums/8562/ShowThread.aspx#8562 See the FAQ if interested http://openkapow.com/blogs/support/archive/2006/12/04/FAQ.aspx *********** Netvibes api Another interesting API: the netvibes api is a "universal" widget api http://dev.netvibes.com/ http://dev.netvibes.com/doc/universal_widget_api They developed an Apple Dashboard widget, that can embed any UWA widget, see the screencast: http://dev.netvibes.com/doc/uwa_widget/screenshots#uwa_screencast They planned support for other platforms. It would be interesting to have the same widgets on your phone, desktop and netvibes/google homepage. The form factor of widgets is suitable to an embedded device... *********** There is a list of mobile-oriented mashups too: http://www.programmableweb.com/tag/mobile All this to say that some sort of net-enabled openmoko widget/app class may allow easy integration of web mashups into openmoko. Doing webmail-checking apps, meteo displaying etc... Questions: * any plans yet for an openmoko dashboard (local - ex: detailed batt usage, detailed GSM informations - & web)? * what do you think of web mashups on mobiles? * any feedback about openkapow already?
