Guest clivewilliams Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 ... a port of one of the Pocket PC chess apps (Crafty perhaps, for example) or ... a POP3 mail reader? Othello project coming to conclusion (this isn't the new AIM app, this is just something I'm writing for my own amusement and to learn Smartphone development)... so can now do non-GAPI smartphone apps ok. Considering next Smartphone project -don't want to duplicate someone else's work... Cheers, Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yatpeak Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 I think that there is already othello and chess for smartphone, I'll just check. I'm not too sure about the POP3 mail reader, but can't our phones already do that with outlook? Wyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yatpeak Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Just checked, and you can get othello on www.handango.com/orange-cobrand under the entertainment category. It doesn't seem that chess is available yet though. If your phone is de-certed, I think that someone will probably make one soon, if not it'll probably take a little longer.

Guest clivewilliams Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Yep - the Othello out there is the AIM app - very pretty, but not a terribly impressive game engine IMHO. But for £3.50? What a bargain! No sign of a Chess app coming from them though. With POP3 I had in mind something to download messages from *other* mailboxes - not the one the Inbox client is pointed to - I point my Inbox at my work account for example, but it'd be good to be able to download messages from home email as well. You'd need something that could squirt and listen to messages on port 110 (there's an example in the Smartphone SDK of how to talk to a Time Clock server, so that should be doable), able to run/access the Inbox in-built database (there's a db viewing app, I believe), and ability to update that database so messages are delivered to the inbox with everything else. Not sure if that bit is possible, but if so, it should be easy enough to knock up a program that reads POP3 servers over GPRS or pass through connection and downloads messages into the Inbox...
