Hi, I've come over a few design questions for a slick podcast catching and playing application for the openmoko platform.
1. How is the filesystem organized? If I am correct, then part of it resides in the phone's flash and part is on SD card. So where would be the right place to cache podcast media files and to store preferences and configuration items? /var/something ? ~/.foobar ? Something else? 2. I want to have an automatic update facility, something like "if I have access to the internet, then download new podcasts". Is there any intelligent internet sensing logic? As far as I understood libmokonet checks BT and GSM. Will it check Wifi in the futue? Can I get information on how I am connected (and maybe even to which WLan). So that I can setup complex options like "update podcasts if home WLan is detected" or "if home WLAN detected, then update, else if GPRS is detected, then update". 3. Will there be a cron daemon running? Is it 'better' design to provide a cron-callable command line interface to update podcasts or do I have to keep the app running constantly and checking periodically for updates itself? Well, I guess that's all for now. I would appreciate some hints about these issues. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Stefan
