What I always wanted was a phone that exposed itself in some sane API for some lightweight language such as lisp or forth. For example, here in Brazil you have your phone number as a 8 digits phone. If you're on a different state (or city) you need to put the 2 digits DDD (distance direct call) for your city in front of those 8 numbers and since we have more than one carrier for landlines you also need to put the 2 digits code of the carrier you want to use.
So whenever I travel for example to são paulo, my home phone which is 26095048 becomes something like 01121-26095048, now, all my numbers in my contact list don't have that prefix, if the damn phone exposed some API I could code a 'add prefix to all numbers' function or something like that. There's no limit what an open architecture can do. Almost all Richards wants below are resolved if the iPhone had an open API and one single USB port for missing hardware. Presto! All your GPS, sat phone, anything needs are thus solved, just take code and some new pcbs. andre On 7/2/07, Judy Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
