Alarm clock (Re: Wiki - OpenMoko Community Applications)

2008-02-14 Thread Schmidt András
I have re-read the wish list and community applications list and could not find a feature that I use on my current phone day to day. That is alarm clock. Or is it part of the calendar? Do you have any pointers to OpenMoko's alarm clock application? Or is it missing yet? It would be a nice hobby

This would definitely be good. I have Bluetooth disabled on my current phone almost all the time. As rarely as I use BT, there's no need to have it always on. I anticipate similar usage for wifi for me. So, I would love to be able to turn those two off and back from the icons at the top.

For reference, the numbers I came up with are for absolute minimum power usage for GTA02. These figures are still *very* preliminary, but I wanted to convey the success of the last few weeks. We should probably expect a standby time closer to ~7 days, that way any improvement over this runtime

The article says Anyone hoping to create new applications for competing proprietary programs from Microsoft Corp., Palm Inc., Research in Motion Ltd. or Nokia Corp.'s Symbian must pay licensing fees. So, I'd say it doesn't relate to OpenMoko. OpenMoko is truly an open platform that you can
