Basically this should be handled by the gsm daemon which the app can use via libgsmd, but going by the wiki SMS isn't there yet (maybe old data, shan't check now). You _could_ use passthrough-mode to send SMS and read them from the SIM; I'd think you'd need proper gsmd support to get notification about incoming SMS though, avoiding polling...
Is gsmd under our control, or is that the closed-source module I've heard talked about? If it's open-source, I'll look into adding SMS support to it.
Anyway, my impression is that the Powers that Be are rather forward-looking and want to do things such as IM with IP connectivity, which is all right and proper. Gimme a Jabber client any time. And say to people that it's "Google Talk" lest they get confused. Not to say that there isn't a place for SMS, but those are generally insanely priced; at least with data pricing there are islands of sanity ;)
That's a great plan for the future, but SMS enjoys very wide deployment and compatibility right now - far and away greater, on mobile devices, than anything else. Legacy or not, I think support for sending and receiving SMSes is a must. -Nick Johnson _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
