Hi! I like your ideas too and I'd like to share my possible future project too ;):
BASH-LIKE PHONE ---------------- An openmoko distribution which uses FSO. The interface is just a shell with on top of it a transparent keyboard (something like the fatfingershell). You can dail like this: piet...@myphone$ dail +3248...... <RET> or a contact: piet...@myphone$ dail hom<tab> <RET> # = pieterc phone home dail should be a python/bash/... script using the FSO api. other easy to use commands I can think of: * addcontact contact #number# -group "friends" * whereami (returns gsm locations and searches for cityname close to that) * sendtext "come home for dinner" son1 # sends sms to son1 (again with autocompletion) * wakemeup 7:30 * tail /var/mail #to read last text-messages bash-commands or commands you're used to: ls,cd,grep,awk,tail, ps, date, ... and some ported apps: * nethack (yes, the game) * links/lynx, * emacs (with erc) * fortune (I like fortune a lot.) * ... I think it's extremely easy and fun to develop this idea. It would make a perfect unix-lover-phone. We could hack on gnu bash to accomplish the auto completion for contacts and other stuff.
