Hi Giovanni, What you suggest sounds good. I realise your probably quite busy, however do you have any updates on available APIs I can play with?
I'm at the early reseach stage and still looking forward to the challenge :) I'm currently getting my android dev env up and going and re-learning java. Doing it in python is possible. However its not realistic at this stage if I want to distribute it on the android app store. I recently came across http://www.phonegap.com . I was wondering whether anyone has used this or experience of it. Its seems to give me the impression I can develop an app for android/iphone/blackberry/etc using Js/HTML/CSS. If this is so Nick and I might be able to combine efforts and cover more phone platforms with a single code base. I was aiming at producing an open source app and making it publically available. I was thinking of pushing the code into mercurial somewhere. I'll do this once I have decided what I'm going to code it, how to test it, what features to implement for release 1, etc. I'm going to reuse/extend/branch any existing projects if possible.
