Hi, I have briefly gone through the code for MIFOS Mobile project a couple of days back. I have a few questions. I apologize if they sound very obvious as I'm not very familiar with mobile application development using Java.
Functional 1. What kind of functionality are we planning to expose in the mobile platform? 2. Typing on mobile devices is not very comfortable. Are there any good ideas to reduce amount of typing on certain entries? 3. Can we let users create some kind of shortcuts for certain clients/accounts so that they can jump right into them? 4. How about security? Do we need to use encryption for all communication between the phone and the application? 5. Is there any risk of data compromise if the mobile device is lost? Technical 1. What is the license for the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit? Does it give us all the freedoms for us to include it as one of our developer tools? 2. Is it closely tied to Sun's JVM or can it run on any J2ME compliant JVM? Are there any other J2ME compliant JVM's other than that from Sun? 3. Does it give us the widest possible coverage in terms of support in various mobile platforms? What if a certain mobile phone runs on Symbian or Android? Can our application run on those platforms? 4. I saw some Sun copyrights in the source code that was shared. Just wanted to check if they can be used or replaced in the future. Just wanted to start off discussion on these things before we dive into the implementation details.
