This would be great if one > could enter a specific Basically that project appears to be about image recognition, for non-Asians to identify stuff at the Asian market. :-) Personally I could use that feature sometimes but we don't have a camera on the phone... But more seriously Accenture appears to be a consulting company so the solution is not likely to be very universal; they would tend to look for specific business customers with specific narrow needs right? But yes the broader idea of using a phone as a thin client is interesting. Nowadays people tend to think the browser is the ultimate platform for that (it has JavaScript and the ability to send and receive chunks of XML over HTTP, and maybe even Flash... whoohoo!) so there you go... thin client. (Google and Apple think that's a satisfying answer.) There is Rebol; if only it were more free it might have had a chance, but then again it's another language so that raises the barrier to entry. I wrote a generic Java thin-client applet at one job a few years ago, but it's not free software unfortunately (again, specific customer with specific needs and they didn't let me release the code, despite its broader applicability) and anyway it was a Java/XML thing... not as optimized as it can be. My goal is to have applications written in arbitrary languages, running on app servers, using a terse UI meta-language to transfer the user-interaction parts of the apps to the thin client (more or less, depending on the processing power/bandwidth tradeoffs on the client side). ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Pocket Supercomputing?
http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/01/31/130245.shtml Basically, using a mobile phone as a thin client. This would be great if one could enter a specific server to connect to, so that individual users could supply a home IP (or Dynamic DNS domain) which would do the necessary processing for them, and business users could do the same, plugging in the IP or domain of a work server, where the business users could share resources pertenant to their company... ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
